Are you a Trader or thinking about starting up? – Then read on.
Casual traders are allocated stalls that are not taken up by our regular traders. These stalls are let out for that day, if the regular has not set up or phoned by 9.30 am on a Saturday, Monday & Wednesday. On a Friday stalls must be claimed by 9.00am
Stalls are then allocated on a points system, a point is given on each day a casual trader turns up wither or not they can get a stall. The points are separate for each trading day. The casual trader with the most points for that day is given the first available stall.
