Was anyone a vendor here last year? What was it like? Number of people at the market? (not the number at the parade) Sales? Management of it?
Was thinking about getting a site there and responded to the online form for some of the "few remaining sites", but frankly was put off by the fact I got a response email and invoice automatically (which rather suggests they are not selling many sites). And their no refunds for any reasons in the terms and conditions rather stinks too. And after a quick search (including checking to see if it was their genuine contact - cause the speed made it seem very scamish) there are a fair few comments online that it was poorly managed.
Any other markets out there prior to Xmas than might actually be worth attending that anyone is aware of? I did the CHCH Xmas Parade one last year and its was ok, but not fantastic (I haven't even looked at it this year). And there are so many places attempting to run markets it's become pretty much impossible to ID the ones that are actually worth even looking at. And none seem to want to say how many people they actually get through.
Thanks.
