There is a limit of 30 tables available, so if you are interested in selling, please be sure to book early. Sellers can reserve a table by sending $10.00 via interac e-transfer to treasurer@charlottetownarc.com.

For those who might arrive early and are looking to put in some time waiting for the doors to open, be advised that members of the Charlottetown club meet for face to face breakfast on Saturday mornings at 8:00 am at Sams Family Restaurant 121 St Peters Rd, Charlottetown, PE C1A 5P3.
Also as a reminder, the club sponsors a Virtual 2 m breakfast net from 8:00 am on Saturdays on the VE1CRA repeater, 146.67 Mhz -600. 100Hz tone required. Join us there for virtual breakfast if you have already had real breakfast. We will be providing directions to the flea market on that repeater as well.
Looking forward to seeing you there. This year promises to be a great year for this flea market.
