Firstly Easter Friday, what a great day for our club, stallholders and Bendigo. Credit flows to all who participated on the day and behind the scenes in the planning department who spent many hours poring over the detail. Speaking to individual stallholders, without doubt (95%+) had their best Easter Friday ever. Compliments on the Club’s organizational skills and efficiency were over welling
Easter Monday was another story, where the elements were definitely against us and the stallholders. We were obliged to make a call early (6:30 am), conferring with Council representatives, we decided to cancel the Rotary market for the day, we could not have our stallholders given the small number that turned up, setup in the rain and potentially be devoid of customers. As it turned out a lot of the major events were also cancelled.
On a brighter note thanks to the Rotary Club of Bendigo South for providing an extra BBQ at the Tom Flood end of the market, my understanding was that, they went so well one their members (Gary) was seen raiding Kev’s cool room for extra product.
Also Rotary Club of Eagle hawk ran a community stall (see photo) to sell their books, by all reports they had a successful day. Great to see other Bendigo clubs working together
