Orroroo Markets I am writing to invite students at your school to be involved in our Orroroo Markets. Our Market environment could provide a great opportunity for your students to promote and showcase their many talents whilst gaining experience in enterprise. Our market would be of most benefit to a single class group or individual students rather than a whole of school group and could be an opportunity for a class to raise funds for their School Camp. In particular, we would encourage the sale of fresh produce, art and craft as a Stall Holder or Busking to promote a particular talent. The Stall Holder fee is reduced to $10 for Students and for Buskers it is free. Stall Holder insurance is not required as this is covered under our Business Insurance. I have attached the schedule of dates for the 2017 Orroroo Markets and Stall Holder Information. If you feel that your students would like to participate in any of our markets please do not hesitate to contact me for further information or to register interest. It would appreciated if our Market could also be promoted in your School Newsletter. I can be contacted on Tuesday s or Wednesday s direct by Telephone or by at af.blackjackgetaway@bigpond.com.
