Farmers Market November 10th
The next Farmers Market will be on Saturday November 10th 8.30am until 1.00pm. We have the Saffron Brewery back with their local brews, samples and gift packs. Also have the Soil Association who will be exhibiting climate friendly food and running competitions, lucky dip and possibly a treasure hunt for adults and children.
All this alongside the usual selection of locally grown and sourced products.
Still have no luck in placing banners on the highway so opportunities to promote this market are very limited and advertsing rates always rising. Carole and myself are always appreciative of your support and spreading the word.

Great - looking forward to the beer stall again (genius idea whoever came up with that).
Regarding the banners, can't you get away with smaller (A4-sized) notices on lampposts on the main roads in and out of town (i.e. B158, A414 etc.) They do this for the Royston Farmer's Market and as such I never missed one when I was working up that way.

Too easy. There's loads of both on a Saturday in Hertford.

Thanks Joby. We are working on this one - think we might have an answer very similar to what you are suggesting.

I think that placing of any sign on lamp-posts etc without authority is an offence

Is it advertised in shop windows, it would bring people into the Town and their shops maybe if there is a charge they would waive it. Or flyers that people can take home to remind them that Hertford is the place to be.

Oh for goodness sake. How petty. The sort of people that delight in pointing out this kind of offence and insisting that the law be upheld - just because there is a law about it - make me puke.
Remember the guy who kicked up a stink about Hertford traders displaying their wares on the street? He's just the sort of person who would pick up on this.

I guess we could turn a blind eye, until it gets like Luton with every flat surface fluttering with tatty posters and every lampost like a flourescent totem pole of flyers.

Well Nora, I think you're jumping the gun a bit here. I didn't say I was condemning the practice, or insisting that the law be upheld, just pointing out that if that course of action was taken people could be laying themselves open to action by the authorities..........but as Shunt says, OK let it go ahead.
