COMMUNITY PROJECTS
September Bayside Farmers’ Market
The sun was shining, everyone was in holiday mood, and the Grand Final was soon to kick-off…so what a great way to start the weekend at the Bayside Farmers Market. We had a fantastic turnout so it was great to see so many families and friends getting together and enjoying everything the market has to offer – fresh produce, yummy treats, hot coffees, live music and fabulous beachside setting. Thank you to all the stallholders and volunteers for ensuing another fabulous market.
At this September market, Hampton Rotary raised funds from the entry donations for Pakistan Flood Relief. 33 million people have been affected by the floods, so thank you to everyone who donated generously at the market.
We look forward to seeing everyone again for the October Market.
Next Bayside Farmers’ Market – Saturday 22nd October
The next Bayside Farmers’ Market is coming up on Saturday 22nd October. We’d love to see you at the market at Trey Bit Reserve Sandringham from 8am-1pm.
