    Next Market - Saturday 26th May 2012 - 8 am til 1 pm

    As the launch of our new web site approaches, it is important that you understand that we are offering you an

    opportunity to advertise YOUR business for free. Please make an effort to write a few words about you and your

    products for inclusion on the site. A big thank you to those that have already submitted information.

    Ahh! Gippsland! -where would we be if we couldnt whinge about it- 18 predicted and showers developing.

    Have a good day - Allan

    The new market web site is fast approaching

    completion and should be up and running within

    the next 10 days or so.

    When it is available, an e-mail will be forwarded to

    all who have advised market management of their

    e-mail address.

    As previously reported an area has been reserved

    for stall holders to advertise themselves and their

    market items. Currently only a few stallholders

    have taken up the opportunity and I can only

    encourage you to submit a suitable item for

    inclusion of up to about 250 words if you want to

    advertise your goods.

    Please submit to

    [email protected]

    Peoples Choice Awards

    The voting period for the above awards will close

    in the next four days, so if you havent voted time

    please get on to it before 30th April.

    Win TV has again highlighted the market during

    April in their news section with approximately four

    minutes of exposure (and another 3 minutes

    Thursday night.!).

    The VFMA have just finalised the accreditation

    regulation changes for the year 2012-2013 which will

    allow the inclusion of non-based products that have a

    clear benefit to the farmer.

    After much debate and feedback from members, this is

    a big step for the accreditation system which recognises

    that farmers are farmers, regardless of whether or nottheir produce is edible. This will enable more

    producers and markets to be eligible for accreditation

    and all of its promotional benefits.

    Further details can be found on the VFMA web site

    under the heading Membership & Accreditation Hand

    Book 2012-2013.

    Market Rubbish Bins

    A big thank you to all as last month was the first time

    for many months that the market area was free of

    loose rubbish left behind after finishing time. Welldone, and great to see.
