  • heres the answer: monsta The metal plates are to prevent skateboarders/ bmx users using the copes for girding and such like, therefore protecting thestone. Others areas of cope will have railings.

An outdoor movie screen would be pretty good but perhaps a little unrealistic.I hope the lightings up to scratch.

Farmers Market's and Craft Fair's but on a weekend peeps for those of us who work.

GGGG,

Might be worth doing a poll to elicit something we can all get behind for the new Market Place? Maybe even sending it to every contact in the membership list? With enough backing it should have enough critical mass to be presented to at least the new Town Council for consideration.

Is it too much to ask for. quite simply, a market in the market place? I have heard, however, that stallholders are not going to take up slots in the new market places as they are not permitted to take vehicles onto it.

Great idea. It's about time we put together another "Monthly" newsletter.

What ones at Morpeth? Last time I looked there were three or four. I don't know what the problem is, just what i've been told. Interesting about the loading bay - where would that be?

Right, so how many stallholders will be able to park there at one time and unload/load their stalls and gear, I wonder? One, two, ten? Sounds like a recipe for a big traffic jam to me.I shall have a look later when i'm down that way.

Can't imagine it causing much traffic if the majority of stall holders set up at 7am?

If the area does end up not being big enough for everyone, then hopefully it'll be a case of quality over quantity (although it's hard to see who exactly will provide the 'quality').

torture equipment for al the numb feckers! such as ???

There is talk about maybe a mobile ice rink for a time.......

I think that will be a popular suggestion, although if it's anything like the first incarnation of the previous market place regeneration we may get that from mother nature for free.

live music would be great. ive managed to do a couple of live gigs solo in the marketplace in morpeth on an afternooon acoustically with a pa provided by the promoters and its great to play for a couple of hours while people come and go and sit around with there chips n stuff!! Totally different gig to plaing in a rowdy bar .. lol :)

That's if they can all park at once!!

This I agree with, but when was the last time you visited a market that had any quality?

Not for nothing, but this teenage rollerblader isn't exactly filled with enthusiasm at any of these options. Buskers? Street Theatre? Craft Fairs? F that S!

Taking into account all the boodyhoodying on the other thread about parking charges, why not simply convert the market place into more parking spaces, eh?

There's some joined-up thinking for you, right there.

J-U T!

sorry this culture isn't up to the hoody clan pack standards! maybe they could install a ring and egg on knife fights and incurage underage drinking! bedlington is ofcourse a market town! not LA or new york!

:blink:

so just suck in your dummy!

Well I was going to add "Rap Battles" but I thought it could come under the umbrella of Live Music if the definition was stretched enough.
