Future of popular Continental Street Market is secured

The Bexhill 100 Motoring Club had been successfully running the market for the past eight years. Earlier in the year they decided that the time had come to hand it over to another not for profit organisation.

Secretary Lynn Brailsford explained that due to other commitments, she felt unable to continue to give this popular event the time it deserved.

Lion President Richard Winrow commented “We were very pleased to have been given the opportunity to take on the organisation of this market, which is popular with both shoppers and traders. Before agreeing to take it on, we spent considerable time with the current organisers to understand what was involved.

“When we had all the facts, these were presented to the Club to enable them to vote on the proposal.

“Following the vote, Lion Brian Comber offered to take the lead and has spent time with Lynn and her team going through all that is needed to be done.

“He has established a core team to manage various aspects of the tasks involved. The Club will take over the running of the market in September.”
