Safety
- Pedestrians - this is a public space so please be very wary of pedestrians in the area, especially when setting up and taking down as vehicles deliver/remove your items. For any vehicles on display ensure there is proper assistance in siting them to avoid accidents, ask for help as needed. We have volunteers to assist where necessary.
- Water (Victoria Basin) - take all appropriate safety measures especially near the water, please make sure you guard against people from your stall or from the public from falling in, do not allow people behind the stalls facing the SOGM and Food Dock noting we will have safety barriers placed there also.
- Siting Vehicles - siting or movement of vehicles onsite must make use of bandsmen i.e. people to assist and control the siting. We have volunteers to assist where necessary.
- Access via Paju Walk - during the day vehicles may drive to park at the rear of the Dentist and Courts, this is outside of our control. Be wary and allow them the necessary safe access via Paju Walk. Paju Walk is indicated on the layout diagram.
- Access to Mariners Church - we must keep the vehicle access towards the Mariners Church free. Mariners Church is indicated on the layout diagram.
- Fire - if you have a fire extinguisher please bring it with you.
- Wind - in case the wind picks up be prepared to remove stall/gazebo walls to reduce impact. Use weights for the legs, if you don't have specific weights, large bottles of water tied to the legs would be a great idea.
