With the gold coin donations going towards building a rock climbing wall within CentrePoint, there's no better place to run it than at the centre itself.
If the weather is a glorious Autumn day the markets will be outside CentrePoint on the grass, and if it's inclement, it will be inside the main dry courts area.

The forecast though is for a sunny day and secretary Jane Whitten said that Blayney Rotary were confident that with 23 stallholders booked into the March market which was cancelled because of the rain, the markets were going to be a success from now on.
"We've had a really difficult start to the markets this year with competing markets and then the rain," she said. "But the support from the stallholders has been tremendous and now that we have a great undercover and outdoor location organised, the future is bright."

Valued at over $100,000 the rock wall would add an extra element to the facilities on offer at Centrepoint said Mrs Whitten.
"There's nowhere around the central west that we're aware of that would have a rock climbing wall like the one that we are raising funds for," she said.
"It would be a great attraction for people around the region and fun for everyone in town."
