Monthly market at Uniting Church Hall

Paul from Levin

Monthly market at Uniting Church Hall, 9 to noon tomorrow, Saturday. Visitor numbers have been on a downhill slide over past months, which is why I'm doing a bit of promoting on local web sites. Although my images are available for sale, what I consider to have been a good market day does not depend on selling anything. What makes a market worthwhile for me are people's' reactions to the display or to particular images, and their subsequent conversation with me. Those conversations and reactions are what make the markets positive for me, sales or no sales. So, fewer visitors means fewer reactions which means I start to question the value of my participating in the market.

I attach a photograph of tomorrow's display.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
