Volunteer Marine Rescue Victoria Point is holding it’s Boaties Market at the Victoria Point State School grounds in Colburn Avenue. The gates open for site holders and buyers at 6:00 am.


The Commodore of the Rescue Unit said that the market had now become a well known event and continued to increase in popularity each time. He said that the unit now hads a reputation for efficiency in the setting up of the stalls whilst the School always operated a great sausage sizzle with drinks also being available.



He added that entry for buyers was by means of a donation with the proceeds going towards operating and maintaining the rescue vessels, looking after the building, it’s 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 he said and the interest shown in this year’s market is well in excess of the previous ones.


Our theme he said 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 of items for sale.


Come along and support our well attended, big, successful fundraiser for your local community Marine Rescue Volunteers. You might just find that bargain you have been looking for!

• Gates open 6AM to 12 midday
  
• Site Fee - $10.00
• Admission - By donation
• Enquiries to the Base- (07) 3207 8717 or email

Just got home from the boaties market. Bad idea not to let the sellers in until 6am as the queue stretched nearly back to the highway. Buyers were let in at the same time with many sellers stuck out on the road trying to get in. Police were not amused.

Sold out of 1/8,1/4 and 3/8oz jigheads. Had to get an armored security van to escort me home with all the cash

Barry,
Not sure of your post as the actual number of sellers was the same as most markets, so if the queue's were out to the highway then it was buyers.
You will find that buyers were let in at the old entrance early (about 15 mins) and were actually waiting for sellers to arrive.
At the main entrance buyers and sellers were let in a 6.00am.
Glad you had a good day.

sellers were lined up half way down colburn avenue. buyers were not in that queue as they did not need to park inside the school. i can confirm that as i was at the back of the queue at 5.30am and didn't get in until after 6.

Dave,
The sellers are usually let in before the buyers so that they can set up their stall before the buyers arrive. Took me half hour in the queue to get in with many buyers waiting inside.

Hi Barry.
See your point.
However the Boaties right from the beginning has always let buyer and sellers in at the same time. In the beginning at 5 am and now 6am.
There has been even bigger markets and no problems.
I noticed that in Colburn Ave their has been changes to the road ie marking which may back up the line causing longer entry times.
Sounds like you still had a good day anyway.
Dave
