Our Management Committee comprises of a small number of stallholders at our Market who put their hand up to have a say in the management of the Market from behind the scenes. Our Management Committee are all volunteers and we are incredibly grateful to have them all. The Management Committee make decisions throughout the year about which new stalls will join the market and other important matters that affect the Market.
Every year at our Annual General Meeting our new Management Committee is nominated and determined by the Market’s members. Our AGM is every November, which means that at the start of every new calendar year we start the year with our new Management Committee.
