The Welkom Publicity Association (WPA) monthly flea market will change its trading times for the winter months and will from June onwards operate between 09:00 and 14:00 on the second Saturday of every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melandr\u00e9 Nel, spokesperson for the WPA<\/a>, says this change has been made following requests received from exhibitors at the previous monthly flea market regarding winter trading hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The controlling body conducted a poll among exhibitors, and over 90 of them voted in favour of a later opening time during the winter season.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says after careful consideration, the following decision has been implemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 The market gates will remain open at all times.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Public entry to the market will commence at 09:00, and continue until 14:00.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 In cases where clients need to collect products before 07:00, special permission may be granted to the relevant exhibitors. Exhibitors enter at their own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Exhibitors are advised that toilets and other services will only open later and will no longer be available from 06:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 Please note that there will be no security on site between 06:00 and 07:00. Exhibitors entering during this time do so at their own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any inquiries, contact Nel on 072 240 8618.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
