May 2026 Cowrie Market
We were woken in the early hours of Sunday morning to very heavy rain. Would they cancel the market, or would it be business as normal? It was business as normal, but there had been several cancellations, and a couple of stall holders turned up and went home – left us with much easier ability to park and set up.
We did arrive to find lots of puddles – but the rain had basically stopped and to our good fortune, did not come back.
We set up with a purple theme of Say Yes to Respectful Relationships and Say No to Domestic and Family Violence. We did have people reading our signs and looking at the brochures. A short story about ‘Today I got flowers’ was also read. If we save one life / protect one person from domestic and family violence, then our display was worth it.
The day was slow & steady, and we cleared $860. Thank you to all those who worked and were able to enjoy some sunshine. It was even pleasantly warm at times, and we were blessed with no wind. Thanks again everyone.
One more 2025/2026 Rotary Year Barbeque left on 30th May 2026 at Bunnings. Please help out if you can. If you can only do 2 hours – I will make the roster work.
