Late Trading Friday Before
Christmas – the general feel around the market is that most traders want to
take advantage of this opportunity. Many commented that they have wanted to try
out a night market for years and this is a good opportunity. The actual
logistics and final stall placements will take some time to organise.
Later Trading Thursday Before
Christmas – apparently consideration is being given to later trading (4:00pm)
on Thursday 22nd December particularly for food traders looking to
handle the Christmas rush. General Merchandise Traders may like to be included in
view of the potential trading opportunities and the lead up to late trading on
the Friday.
Golfing Day – apparently the annual QVM golf day was a
great success although one team (who shall remain nameless) planned on coming
last so they could claim the box of chocolates. They achieved the last spot but
got a wooden spoon instead – justice was dealt.
We understand that a number of awards were presented
on the day but surely the Best Dressed Award went to the Guru. You scrub up
pretty well Pete.
Trader Elections – a number
of current Trader Representatives have indicated they will not be nominating
for the upcoming elections. One has been given an ultimatum from his wife that
he has to choose between marriage and the Trader Representative Committee. He
admits that makes the decision a little harder.
We Are A Hardy Lot – one of
our traders in J Shed believes she has broken her index finger while moving tables. The
finger certainly looks badly swollen but she will wait until after weekend
trading to get her doctor’s confirmation.
Stallholders Petition – C Shed
traders are being asked to sign a trader led petition complaining about a
number of issues including empty stalls and poor business. Particular reference
was made to other traders turning their shed into a car park. Don’t we have
rules about parking vehicles in empty stalls?
