Last revised: May 2010

The most recent changes are highlighted in the right margin.

1. No vehicles are allowed to drive in or out of the market area between 7:30am and 12:30pm. This is an important Safety and Insurance issue. Offenders may be refused from future attendance.
2. The Yungaburra State School P & C Association will not be held responsible for third party property damage or personal injury claims resulting from the stallholders' activities.
3. Stallholders must carry their own public and products liability insurance.

5. Volunteer Money collectors will call on stallholders during the morning, between 7.30am and 10am (times may vary). Stallholders must have the correct site fee available during that time. No change will be carried by volunteers, nor will consideration be given for lack of sales.
6. The market Sub-Committee is entitled to make enquiries as to the nature of the goods to be sold and will determine whether or not they are appropriate for the character of the Market. They will have an official checklist and it will be at their discretion as to whether the goods comply. Stallholders must ONLY sell the products that they are registered to sell. Written approval must be given from the Sub-Committee prior to any change to your product range.
7. Permanent stallholders not attending a market MUST cancel their site no later than 4pm Thursday prior to that market.

Illness or emergency will be the only exceptions to the rule and at the discretion of the Coordinator.
8. Yungaburra Markets will not be cancelled due to weather conditions, unless a cyclone warning (not watch) has been issued.
