The market has grown far beyond what we had anticipated. We are not able to take any further bookings for stalls as we are running out of room. To be able to fit in the stall holders that we have we ask that ALL stall holders try and reduce their foot print / space. Get up close to each other and be really friendly, after all it is supposed to be a friendly happy market. We will be trying a new idea in the placing of stalls on the 18th November so please help, cooperation from all stall holders will be very much appreciated. We may also have to have another meeting with council to see how we can grow a little. I have to say that we have had some really great feed back from visitors to the market as well as from stall holders. The market is organised by the North Canterbury Model Railway Club Inc.

Is this what we have to look forward to for the next couple of months. When are these things going to be banned.

Is this what we have to look forward to for the next couple of months. When are these things going to be banned. High winds last night and fireworks do not make a good combination.
I don't mind public displays, but I've never been able to understand why we have to celebrate something that has nothing to do with us
