If you have any interest in booking a stall site, please contact Margaret on 6556 7146.

The hall will also be having a twilight market on February 27. All proceeds from the barbecue at the twilight market will go to the Lansdowne Rural Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Stall bookings are also being taken now for that one. There will still be COVID rules that will have to be followed but it will be so good to get our lives as close to normal as we can and start to get out and about again.

The community markets have always been held to raise funds to keep up with the maintenance of our hall. Since the hall has been closed there has been no funds coming in, so the managers of the hall need to have the hall open and available again.

Market bookings to Margaret on 6556 7146. For hall bookings please phone either Rhonda on 0418 920 984 or Gai on 6556 7150.
