It’s a cultural red letter weekend with the Lunar New Year 🧧 and Valentine’s Day on this weekend🌹. Despite the first greeting card creations of Hallmark Cards in 1913 and links to St Valentine, this European tradition actually has dark origins https://www.npr.org/2011/02/14/133693152/the-dark-origins-of-valentines-day

The Camberwell Sunday Market is currently closed. Rotary and the Council met this week and progress continues toward reopening before Christmas. Hopefully more details will be available next week.
FAQs:
• Will the market be open this weekend? Sorry, no.
• Will the market be open next weekend? No, sorry. Everyone needs more two weeks notice to reactivate the Market.
• When will the market reopen? Unknown at this point, but we will reopen as soon as Council grants permission and only if deemed safe to do so.
• Can I book a stall? Sorry, no. The stall booking system will remain closed until a reopening date is determined.
• Will the market reopen before Christmas? We are working very hard to ensure we open before Christmas.
By avoiding large gatherings, masking up, washing hands, social distancing and following the latest health advice, we will all get to the other side of this in the best shape possible.
We are indeed in this together. Every single Rotary volunteer, stall holder and visitor is impacted by Covid-19. And the millions of visitors’ parents, partners, children, grandparents, friends, work colleagues and even staff at their local coffee shop. We are all at risk and, like you, we will do our bit to keep each other safe.
Update: 1 August 2020:
Due to Covid-19 transmission rates and increasing mandatory public health measures in Victoria, the Camberwell Sunday Market remains closed.
