Tawa Lions Market this week
The Tawa Lions Saturday market is now in its 12th year. We raise around $30,000 annually which is distributed to local causes first, but also regional, national and international causes through our affiliation with over 1.4 million Lion members worldwide. This market operates every Saturday Morning of the year except when Christmas day and New Years day fall on a Saturday, on our site on Main Rd near Outlet City.
This week we will also have a stall at Spring-into-Tawa - this is in addition to our normal market.
Our fruit-and-veg vendor is back with their range of fresh vegetables and fruit, much of which comes from their garden in Levin.
We will have Lions real-fruit Christmas Cakes for sale - normally $20.00 but reduced to $18.00. This is a 1.2kg un-iced cake sold in a christmas-themed box specially designed to facilitate the freshness a good (optional) Brandy deserves.
We sell free-range eggs and honey. The eggs come from a local co-operative distributor in packs of 6 (not 4), 12 (not 10), 18 and 24 and trays of 30 (not 20). The more you buy the less you pay per egg. The honey we sell comes from Helens Honey in the Wairarapa with creamed Meadow (light like clover) and Bush (stronger flavour). This week we also have Waireka (Manawatu) Honey Dew (liquid) honey available for tasting and purchase at less than the factory-shop price.
We are looking for more stall-holders. We have a solid base of regular customers but there is room to diversify. While we value casual stallholders looking to sell from their car boot, we are most interested in businesses wishing to attend each week with additional products to sell. We offer trial periods and our weekly fees are priced to attract new stallholders.
We can be contacted at tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz. We value customer feedback and any suggestions to make the market better.
Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Outlet City in allowing us to use their site.
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?
At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).
