Should the Worlds
Longest Lunch Have Been Held At QVM?
This week's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival includes the famous Worlds Longest Lunch event. A trader asked why
this event wasn’t held at QVM and the response from one of our trader
representatives was that it probably could have been. Earlier last year, trader
representatives were asked about the prospects of conducting the world’s
longest lunch in C Shed. Trader Representatives ascertained that 80% of C Shed traders
would be happy to move for the event assuming they were given an equivalent
alternative location. We are not sure why, but the proposal didn’t go any further.

Sparrows and Health
at QVM
A recent newspaper
article warned of the health hazards associated with our feathered co-tenants
at QVM particularly the risks of infection from bacteria in their droppings. Sparrow
numbers seem to be on the rise and we know that measures have been taken in the
past to control their numbers. Maybe it is time to address the problem again.
As much as we wish no harm to wildlife generally, there is an obligation to
provide a healthy, clean environment for customers and ourselves.
Recruiting New
Traders
One of our traders
has suggested that Trader Representatives should be on the selection panel for
new traders. Determining the experience and skill qualities of new applicants would
be greatly enhanced by a public market trading expert i.e. an experienced current
market trader.
