Editor(s): why so little attention for the French Market on the front page?

I went last night, and it was lovely. When I came to look for details on the TW8 website for Saturday's events, there's only a tiny 'calendar' blurb, which only contains details for Friday.Many local businesses and individuals have put a great deal of effort into this; it deserves to be highlighted so everyone knows it's there. There is music on tonight (see other forum post), plus food, drink and gifts.

Can anyone confirm the dates for the Spring Markets? Are they on the 17th & 18th Feb?

Just a reminder that tables are now available for the Spring Market

If any one is interested in taking a stall for the spring market I believe they are now taking bookings

We will try and get more info out for the Spring Market

My point was that the market (and the full schedule of music that went with it) is just the sort of local event that this site is meant to highlight, and the minimal information just wasn't there.

It would have been nice if it had had pride of place + full schedule on the front page of the Brentford (and maybe Chiswick and/or Ealing) site. Just a full schedule would have been good. The only mention of the event was hidden in the sidebar. I forgot when it started so had a look at brentfordtw8 and there was no info for Saturday at all.

I suppose the organisers could advertise on other forums(Ealing,Chiswick,Acton,Hammersmith)and chuck an add in the Leader and Chronicle newspapers?

Hi Holly and Hopefully we will get some more attention for the spring market

Simon Groves ● 4978d

I'm still baffled to see that there has been no reply to the initial question. It was such a lovely event but if I hadn't been involved in it myself I would never have known about it.

Hopefully the Spring Market will be a little warmer

Your a braver man than me Marcel

Trust me as a market stall trader I am used to the bitter cold, I wouldn't mind as long as I got customers to serve .......

Marcel Greve ● 4985d

The pictures dont show how cold it was

Great Pictures Jim thanks for the link

There are plenty of French Market images available to view on the Brentford Dock Residents' website and if you copy and paste the URL below..it should lead you to a set of FM pictures uploaded on to the Flickr website by "Chiswick 28"..a local lass who wishes her efforts to reach a wider audience.http://www.flickr.com/photos/62910481@N04/sets/72157628373758775/show/
