Appreciation for Thame’s Local Produce stall

A stall at Thame’s weekly, Tuesday Market, has been presented with a Certificate of Appreciation by the Mayor of Thame, Nichola Dixon, and Mike Broun, Chairman of the Thame branch of the National Market Traders Federation, and Head of the Thame Market Co-operative which runs Thame market.

Amanda Hopcroft and Lisa Honey who ‘man’ the The Local Produce stall at the Upper High Street end of the market, sell produce on behalf of other local producers including cake bakers from the WI. If they hadn’t taken it over there would be no produce stall on the market. It is the local producers that wanted to show their thanks to the two ladies.

The Mayor was in attendance at Thame market yesterday, drumming up support for her Charity Parachute jump (Link HERE to find out more and donate) on August 29, in aid of her two chosen charities, The Thame and District Day Centre and Thame to Thame, which is raising funds to help the village of Thame, (pronounced Tam-ay) devastated by the Napal earthquake back in April.

Yesterday was the annual Thame Market Community Day, run by the Thame Market Traders’ Co-operative which gives local good causes the chance to showcase what they do, sell items to raise funds and recruit new volunteers. LINK TO PICTURES FROM THE COMMUNITY DAY HERE
