The list of
new Trader Representatives has been released. A couple of the names are not
well known (Jim Ayas is the Sugar Cane guy and Giovanni Kennedy sells oil
paintings) and the general feeling is that we have some good entrepreneurial
skills in the mix. Congratulations to all appointees.
We hear that
a Trader has found some old copies of “Market Voice” from the mid 1980’s. Although
apparently without the date you would think many of the articles were written
yesterday. Some issues at QVM just keep on re-cycling.
A Trader has
received a letter admonishing them for leaving 5 minutes early on a trading day
and they wonder if that was really worth a letter.
One of our
new Trader Representatives sent us this quote – “Leadership is an opportunity
to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self importance.”
Elections will need to be held for TRC
Representatives in the Dairy Hall, F Shed, Meat and
Fish Hall and Victoria Street (Peel St to Queen St) as there are more
nominations than positions. There has been much speculation about who might be
vying for the roles. Could an ex QVM executive be in the mix?
A Trader said this week
that it is difficult to underestimate the importance of your neighbours at QVM.
In really difficult times the opportunity to complain, laugh, listen, advise,
agree, disagree, re-think, and learn with your fellow Traders is great therapy.
Our bad (but irresistible)
joke of the week – Did you hear about the
doctor who gave up medicine? ....... no Patience!!!!
