St Andrew's Church Morning Market 29th November 2008
Click here to view some Pictures of
Last year's Morning Market
 At
the well-attended Morning Market planning meeting held earlier this
week, the following issues were discussed and agreed upon.
ROSTER
A Roster will be introduced and placed at the back of the Church in the
next few weeks. Parishioners are asked to sign up for half-hour or one
hour slots at a stall of their choice. We wish to encourage wider
participation and to allow stall holder some time to enjoy other morning
market activities.
PARKING
Secure parking has been arranged in the car park of the Grove Primary
sports field in Norfolk Road for about 20 cars. It is but a short walk
to / from St Andrews and should alleviate some of the pressures of
parking.
RAFFLES
A number of stall run raffles for smaller prizes and this will continue.
However, a raffle with a few large prizes (such as luxury hampers, a
weekend get-away, theatre tickets, etc) is proposed. If anyone can
sponsor or suggest prizes and donors for this raffle, please contact
Andreas Nel.
YOUTH focus.
The intention is draw more youths into getting involved. The Pump
Station area will be allocated for youth activities. Youths are also
needed to assist at stalls (e.g. the Food Court is looking for youths to
sell food items). Please encourage your teens to become involved.
STALL REQUESTS
If you can help with any of the following requests, please contact the
appropriate stall convenor.
