If a ticket is unused for any reason other than a postponed market, that ticket will be forfeited.  If a market is postponed due to inclement weather the unused ticket may be used the following week at

Permits and Identification
The stallholder is responsible to obtain any licenses or permits that may be required by the council or government.
A driver's license, or similar identification, must be produced when purchasing a ticket. If a stallholder does not purchase a ticket before the market, that stallholder will be required to pull to one side (losing his place in the line), to purchase a ticket and produce identification.  Anyone refusing to give identification will not be permitted to set up a stall.

Public Liability and other Insurances.
The market operators carry insurance to cover their own liabilities.  Stallholders are advised that these insurances do not cover the activities of the stallholders and they should carry their own policies.
