JUDGING DAY FOR STOWMARKET IN BLOOM: WEDNESDAY 22ND JULY 2009
Stowmarket will be dressed in its finery on the Wednesday 22nd July 2009 when the Anglia in Bloom Judges will be touring Stowmarket to see the results of how everyone from tiny tots to pensioners, commerce, industry, schools and the Local Authorities have all been working together to improve and enhance their town. The whole community has worked hard to keep Stowmarket clean and tidy, recycling, conserving and looking after wildlife, with new and innovative projects, sustainable planting, sowing and growing to produce some wonderful floral displays transforming Stowmarket into a riot of colour. The people of Stowmarket are proud of their community, and success in Anglia in Bloom would be the icing on the cake, and Stowmarket is certainly looking a picture for those Judges. The tour will start at Stowmarket Town Council offices at 2.00pm and will end at 4.30pm. The Judges will be accompanied on their tour by Councillor Mrs Lesley Mayes and Malcolm Baker, Town Clerk.

MEETING ROOM HIRE IN THE HEART OF STOWMARKET

The large ornate room that is now known as the Council Chamber was built in the middle of the 19th century as a ballroom for the Reverend Hollingsworth and today is the venue for Council meetings and civil ceremonies.
The Tudor Room has been recently refurbished and provides a warm and comfortable location for informal meetings.

SATURDAY MARKET BOLSTERED BY SARDINIAN STALLS
Our Saturday Street Market has recently welcomed the addition of some specialist Sardinian stalls, selling a range of quality Sardinian foods. The stalls have enjoyed trading in Stowmarket - so much so that they are planning to come to our market every other Saturday. Check back for dates.
MARKET LOYALTY SCHEME A SUCCESS!
In January Stowmarket Town Council launched a market loyalty scheme that rewards regular customers with free tickets to the Regal cinema or Boots Loyalty Card Points and the scheme has been a success!
Customers are issued with a loyalty card by participating traders on the street and farmer's markets and receive a loyalty sticker for every transaction of £3 or more that they make at a participating stall. Once they have collected 10 stickers they can exchange the card for a free cinema ticket at The Regal. If they collect an additional 2 stickers from from Boots - which are also available on transactions of £3 or more - they can instead exchange the completed card for 300 Boots loyalty card points. The scheme was initially trialled until the end of March 2009 and it's success means that it has been extended for the foreseeable future.
