SUNDAY MARKET STALLHOLDERS
How great it is to see so many stall holders turning up to the Sanson
Market these days. Hopefully you all
remembered Daylight Saving time ok and adjusted clocks to suit.
This newsletter is to remind you of a few housekeeping items.
The first is that stallholders are to be on site by 7-30am unless prior
arrangements have been made, (we want
to avoid vehicles moving inside the market when it’s open). This
not mean it’s ok to phone or text in and
assume it will be ok. Also commonsense is called for when arriving or
leaving the market as we, the way it
was told to me anyway, had a case of a stallholder backing out of their
spot almost into another vehicle that
was also leaving.
One point to remember for those of you who sell foodstuffs is to have
your relevant certificates on display in
view of the public. One never knows when the health people are going to
come through. If foodstuffs are
being sold without relevant certifications that particular stallholder
could quite well be shut down for the day
and not permitted back until certs are sighted. Persistent breaches could
also bring a hefty penalty of the
stallholder.
For those of you wanting information on weather conditions (forget the
forecasts) can phone or txt Mike after
6.30am Sunday mornings.
To ensure you stand the best chance of having a stall at the market bookings
are now imperative, especially
during the summer months. To book a site please email the organizer no
later than 5.00 Saturday night on
mailto:sansonmarket@gmail.com?subject=market enquiries
Or ring Mike on (06) 355 3718 or 027 450 5646 as early in the week as
possible, no later than 7.00 pm
Saturday night (phone calls stand a good chance of not being answered
after these times and e-mail might
be too late to catch the booking sheet. If you need to cancel please do
so as early as possible. If you just turn
up on the day without a booking there is a good chance a site may not
be available. The earlier in the week
you book the better the chance you have of getting a higher profile site,
you can always cancel if need be.
Stall holders are requested to NOT leave their goods or Rubbish in the
Building or grounds. Please remove
ALL RUBBISH about your site at the end of the day. It is the stallholders
responsibility to remove all the
own rubbish. There is a bin inside the café for food wrappings
etc but cartons and the like have also been left
behind.
Recently all our no dog signs have been revamped and increased in number,
we now have four. They are
being used, as it is a requirement from the environmental (Health) officer
of the M.D.C. as dogs are not
permitted on site due to the foodstuffs being sold at the market. It makes
me wonder about some people when
they walk their dogs through the food sites.
Applications are now being called for funding from Sanson Community Organizations.
Criteria and
application forms can be obtained by contacting Del on the number below.
