Merbein Market Feedback

Now 4 markets old, the Merbein Market Day has certainly had a great impact on the community of Merbein. There has been much feedback to the organizers and it’s definitely worth sharing this with the broader community. Some of the feedback includes:

• Just like the end of the war, with people laughing and dancing in the street

• A great carnival atmosphere

• Such a boast to the moral of the town

• Exciting carry on sales during the week for the traders

• Great increase in turnover for the shops on the day

• Have never seen so many people in Merbein at one time

• Just shows what great community sprit this town has even when things are tough

• Good to see the men standing in the street talking and laughing again

• The town welcomes you and a nice family day out with the merry go round and clowns etc

• Stall holders comment a well run and festive feel to the day

However, it can’t always be positive so it’s worthwhile mentioning some of the negative feedback which is just as important in terms of improving the market!

• Congestion on the footpaths

• No car parks left

• Weather is to cold and the market should only be in summer months

• Too much of the same thing need more food stalls

what a great effort pam has done to get the merbein market running a lot off work.
must be rewarding for pam that the market has been such a success.
a vistor to the market in july said that they travel a lot, and that merbein is the second best that have been to.next time they visit they will be saying it is the best.
keep up the great work Pam.
