Popular Boaties’ Market On Again – 22nd October
Volunteer Marine Rescue Victoria Point is holding its twelfth bi-annual Boaties’ Market at the Victoria Point State School grounds in Colburn Avenue on Sunday October 22nd, 2006. The gates open for site holders and buyers at 5.00 am and the market continues until 12 noon. The market has become a well known event and continues to increase in popularity. The Rescue Unit has a reputation for efficiency in the setting up of the stalls and the School always operates a great sausage sizzle with drinks also available.
Entry for buyers is by means of a donation, with the proceeds going towards operating and maintaining the rescue vessels, looking after the building, its vehicles and safety equipment. Site holders pay a token $10 per site with there being no restrictions on the size required and no need to book ahead. We are always pleased to donate a percentage of our takings to the School’s P & C Association for their generosity in making the grounds available for the market. The interest shown so far in this year’s markets is well in excess of previous years.
The unit Commodore, Ed Pepping, reminds everyone that the theme continues to be “anything from a fish hook to a power cruiser!” and it is rare that a site holder does not dispose of most or all items for sale.
Any enquiries should be directed to Ted Scovell on 07 3207 8116
