Thanks for organising this Richard and thank you cash mobbers from all of us at Harringay Market. We had a great day!<br />
I'd be happy to support another local business next time. The Big Green Bookshop maybe? Or the Step? I went there the other day and I think it's a lovely place.<br />

<p>Sad to see the <a href="http://www.bowesandbounds.org/forum/topics/local-newspaper-the-journal-is-to-end-its-printed-edition" target="_blank">Hornsey Journal end its printed edition</a> - but in the penultimate weeks print run they found space to give the Cash Mob some profile... Is anyone intersted in organising another? ... Or suggesting a worthy independent trader as the next target?…</p>

<p>Thanks Susie! Great to hear that locals and residents are getting behind Harringay market, although a cash mob is not on the cards at the moment for BGM, we do have a fundraising event for McMillan on the 29th Sept and asking everyone (young and old) to paint, sign, print their part onto the BGM Bunting which we will use across the footbridge on market days.</p>

<p>Despite the torrential rain and freezing winds a friendly bunch of intrepid "cashmobbers" turned up at Harringay Market to spend their tenners. The picture shows some of the crowd who turned up to support this fun way of supporting local independent traders - which also give people a chance to meet their neighbours</p>

<p>There is a full report including some great pics of the produce people purchased on <a href="http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/cheerful-crowd-casmobs-harringay-market" target="_blank">Harringay Online</a>. As well as the immediate injection of cash the plan was to help raise the profile of the Harringay Market and it looks like this was a success as there was a fair bit of media interest.</p>
<p>So what next? We have shown that we can get a group of people together committed to supporting local independent traders. Is this an idea that could be applied elsewhere? Do you have any suggestions for other local businesses that could benefit from a "Cash Mob"?</p>
