| | News + EventsDate: 14/11/2008 PUDSEY BEAR DAY! CHILDREN IN NEED!Lincoln Central Market Traders are dressing up as Cowboys, Bandits & Highway Robbers as we wear our Pudsey Bear Bandana's to raise money for Children in Need on Friday 14th November 2008! Come down and join us in the fun and spare a few pence to help pudsey and friends support Children in Need!
We will probably be acting even sillier than usual with the Bandana's in place and costumes on! - though it is doubtful that any real work will be done that day as they intend extorting as much money for Children In Need as possible with as much fun as possible! feel free to join in the fun or admire the silliness if you are in Lincoln!

They are also continuing to expand their American Imports and have a wide ranging and comprehensive section of Paranormal and Historical Romances in stock, as well as a large selection of Western's! Date: 3/04/2008 Lincolnshire Trading Standards has set up a new initiative - The Code of Practice for Markets & Car Boot Fairs. Though aimed primarily at the Operators of Markets and Car Boot Fairs to ensure a uniform standard of compliance on the issue of illegal goods sold in these venues, the Lincoln NMTF Branch Committee would like to state that it welcomes this initiative wholeheartedly and believes it will be of great benefit to all Markets, Traders and Customers. We whole heartedly agree with Lincolnshire Trading Standards statements that: 'By eradicating such trading practices a pleasant, safe and family friendly shopping environment is created that supports legitimate Lincolnshire businesses and traders. The campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour will also be assisted by restricting the sale of illegal goods at the County’s markets and car boot fairs. By “illegal goods” we mean –
· Age restricted goods which may be sold to under age people i.e. Alcohol,Tobacco, Knives, Imitation Firearms, BB Guns etc.
· Counterfeit, or fake, goods – DVD’s, CD’s, computer games, clothing etc.
· Unsafe, or dangerous, products.
· Stolen goods.
The trade in illegal goods damages both consumers and businesses –
· Consumers may unwittingly buy such goods which may be dangerous, defective or not even work at all
· The livelihoods of local businesses and honest traders are unfairly affected. ' We believe that Central Market has always complied with principles such as those embodied in this code through its own self-regulation and the self policing of the traders within the Market, thus ensuring Central Market has always been and will continue to be a safe, fun and welcoming place to shop and work in - however we welcome any assistance we can get in safeguarding our businesses, our market and our customers and so we, the Traders in Central Market, are happy to welcome this new initiative by Lincolnshire Trading Standards. Date: 2/04/2008 With the sad demise of first, Advance Books and now the SPCK/SSG Bookshop in Lincoln, we would like to announce that we, at Unicorn Tree Books, are selling Christian Books & Requisites, thus trying to honour the spirit of Advance Books & SPCK by returning Christian Books to the Market in which Advance Books started out over 50 years ago, and the SPCK's aim to be a witness in the heart of the city. Before taking on Unicorn Tree Books, Melanie Carroll - the owner, spent 10 years working for SPCK Bookshops - and was manager of 3 of their stores in that time, London, Brighton & Lincoln, she was also their e-commerce website manager for 5 years. Her heart for Christian Books didn't dissipate and she continues to be the Religious and Philosophy Previewer for Publishing News, and also on the Review Board of www.thegoodbookstall.org.uk, however she felt called to move on and into the Market and the general book trade. However when Tim of Advance informed her of his closing down, and then with the changing times at SPCK and their stock ordering issues under the new ownership just before Christmas, we began carrying a range of Christian Books and church requisites such as Communion Wafers. With the SPCK Bookshop now having been closed by the current owners of the bookshop, and the staff's employment terminated, this now leaves Unicorn Tree Bookshop as the sole remaining retailer in Lincoln of both Christian Books and Church Requisites. We are saddened by the demise of these esteemed shops in the last 12 months, and only hope we can go some way to filling their shoes in the years ahead. We cannot stress enough our hopes and prayers for the staff who have been left without employment through these closures. As with all our ranges we have signed up with the major wholesalers both in the UK & US, to ensure a range of excellent product at great prices (most books are at slightly less than the RRP wherever possible!) and as ever we do also offer an ordering service on books not held in stock and endeavour to provide all orders within 7 days of ordering, though in many cases we can provide orders within 3 days. Please note that we already carry in stock a range of Communion Wafers, Candles, Incense, Church Stationery, Hymn & Service books, Christian Gifts, Jewellery, Witness pins, Rosaries, Cards & More! We also stock Daily Reading Notes and Sunday School Material - which we are ahppy to put on standing order! and for anything not in stock such as clerical shirts etc we are offering an order service for. We are also stocking Book Dust Jacket Covers and Platic Books Jackets in many sizes! Please do make contact with us to discuss your churches actual needs as it is our aim to render you the best service possible, but we need to know what you really want from us to be able to best provide it! We are small currently but with your help we hope to grow. Date: 2/04/2008 New Stock In and selling fast at Materialize It! New Halo Figures now in and out! New Doctor Who & Stargate Atlantis collectable figures in too! Also new in this week are new Star Wars Easy Fit Kits! Date: 10/09/2007 Artist Supplies and One to One Art Tuition are now available from Stall 51 in the Market, and at Stall 50 'Ian's Hardware' is now offering a complimentary Framing Service!

With the sad demise of Advance Books in Lincoln, we have started to sell Christian Books, thus we are trying to honour the spirit of Advance Books by returning Christian Books to the Market in which Advance Books started out over 50 years ago. Before taking on Unicorn Tree Books, Melanie - the owner, spent 10 years working for a large Christian Book Chain - SPCK Bookshops - and was manager of 3 of their stores in that time, London, Brighton & Lincoln, she was also their e-commerce website manager for 5 years. Her heart for Christian Books didn't dissipate and she continues to be the Religious and Philosophy Previewer for Publishing News, and also be on the Review Board of www.thegoodbookstall.org.uk, however she felt called to move on and into the market and the general book trade. However when Tim of Advance informed her of his closing down, just at the same time as she had just rejigged Unicorn Tree and found a space for more books, she felt sure this was the reason and answer as to what to fill that space with, and so it is that we are now carrying a range of Christian Books. As with all our books we have signed up with the major wholesalers both in the UK & US, and also contacted remainder dealers to ensure a range of excellent product at great prices (most books are at slightly less than the RRP wherever possible!) and as ever we offer ordering services for anything we don't have in stock and for Hard to Find items. So please support us as we bring Christian Books into the heart of the marketplace! Date: 05/07/2007 Al's Arts & Crafty Bits now has its Christmas Craft stock out!
