THE new home of Inglewood Lions Club monthly market was a winner with visitors on Saturday with the layout providing some shelter from winds.
The market returned from its winter hiatus at the new recreation reserve venue that president Eddie Sydor said was the result of a supportive partnership with the reserve committee.
Lions members had erected signs along Brooke Street and the Calder Highway directing people to the recreation reserve where stalls and the club’s famous breakfast barbecue were set up.
“The weather was a bit of a challenge but we are able to position stalls between the football ground buildings that gave some protection from the elements,” Mr Sydor said.
“The new location also has plenty of parking and will be able to see us accommodate more stalls as the market grows over spring and summer.”
Musicians from the Goldfields Music Club, including Inglewood’s Geoffrey Rooney, played throughout the morning.
“The music, stalls and barbecue meant people stayed to look, listen and chat throughout the morning,” Mr Sydor said.
“We are thankful for the encouragement and support of the reserve committee and president Tim Birthisel.
“And we’re looking forward to really becoming established at our new home.”
