Another Boaties Market at Victoria Point

[finga]

Gidday all,
I've just been informed by Marlin Mike that he saw a sign about another boaties market at Victoria Point on Sunday 21st October.
Can someone confirm the rumor ???
I hope it's right and I'm sure it right as MM saw the sign.
I need some more junk and the sausages are just yummm.
Cheers Scott

At the last one Blaster Betty, there were quite a few boats for sale so you might be lucky this time

I am noit a boat salesman, but have you seen this one in for sale section? looks a bloody bargain to me

some more advanced notice of the next one would be good.

Has a date been set for the next one?

cheers

Gidday oldboot, no we don't have a date at this time.

Because it is held in the School grounds we are a little bit at the mercy of the school approving a date for us. I suppose their agenda for sporting events, fetes etc held at the school has to be settled first which is understandable.
Sometimes we find out on time to let people know on the day of the market, when the next one will be but this is not always the case.
The next one should be around the April mark but thats as far as I can tell you at this stage.
As soon as I hear a date, I post it on our own website but don't tend to promote it anywhere else until about a month or two out as otherwise they drift to the back of the pages and to ask mods etc to make a post sticky for 2-3 months is not probably the right thing to do. On some of the sites an event is automatically deleted after 1 month. (Event calendars, not chat rooms).

Sorry I couldn't be a little more helpful, the only thing I can suggest is you check out http://www.vmr.org.au/upcomingevents.html every so often

Kind Regards
Lloyd

"BUY - SWAP - SELL"


Not much point in Finga going then.

I mean, you couldn't SELL him because no one would BUY him, and what could you SWAP him for?


TOL

[oldboot]

thanks lloyd.... undestandable..... but any idea of time scale..... a month, 2 months, next september?

cheers

[subzero]

Their are 2 markets held each year approx 6 months apart.
Normally October and April.
Unfortunately over the last 14 (I think) markets we have held, they may clash with a long weekend. We try to avoid it but if that is the only date the school can give us then we take it and still go ahead with it. I think it has happened only once so far.

Cheers Lloyd

Gidday oldboot, the confirmed date for the next Boaties Market will be Sunday 9th March 2008.
The Easter break Good Friday falls on the 21st March if you or others are planing on going away over Easter so it doesn't clash.
Any inquiries phone 32078116

reminder came up...I have got a pearler of a cold at the moment, didn't even want to get out of bed today. Ah well, aiming for the March market now.
Hope all had a great day and bought heaps of other peoples cr*p or had a successful selling day.
I hope the VMR have a great day from it too.

I hit the market as early as I could with Brooke in tow.

Met up with ED,and Ian and then found lots of AF members.

Shane Boese, Jeremy, thedeckie, blaze, aigutso, rakinray, colacgirl and ross, ron molle, Nugget, saw MY-TopEnder in the distance, but lost him on the round about, TOL was there, but missed wags and a couple of others.

I found my bargain and made tracks. It was certainly bigger than last years effort.

You should be happy with the result Lloyd !
