Bringing back the traders to the Moor adds spice
11:54am Wednesday 23rd April 2008
It would be so good to have the market traders back on the Moor!
They supplied a wonderful variety of craft materials, very different to those already available in the town, as well as books and other interesting bits and pieces.
The fact that the stalls were all different made the whole thing more interesting!
Totnes has regular Friday and Saturday markets, much larger and full of variety and including a farmer's market, which bring people into the town and encourage trade. As for getting from one end of the moor to the other - we can't see that there has ever been a problem - it's easy to walk through the middle, certainly not "an assault course". The traders are very nice, hardworking people who deserve a bit of support.
Come on Falmouth, don't be afraid of a bit of individuality, let us have our market back, sited on the traditional market place!

Rain did not dampen spirits of Falmouth carnival entrants
Those who whimped out missed out on the Carnival held on Saturday. Torrential rain failed miserably to dampen the spirits of those taking part though the small number of spectators adversely affected the size of the charity collection.
