Che Kung Festival Fair stalls to be auctioned on November 26

The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (November 12) that a public auction for stalls at the 2015 Che Kung Festival Fair will be held on November 26 (Wednesday).

The annual fair will be held for 18 days from February 16 to March 5, 2015, at Chui Tin Street Soccer Pitch in Sha Tin. The upset bidding prices for the 44 dry goods stalls and four wet goods stalls are $4,080 and $970 respectively.

The auction will begin at 9.30am at Wo Che Community Hall, Wo Che Estate, Sha Tin. Dry goods stalls will be auctioned first, followed by wet goods stalls.

Bidders must be at least 18 years old and ordinarily resident in Hong Kong.

Anyone can bid for more than one stall. A bidder must pay the bid price and register in person with his or her own name as the licensee of the stall immediately after successfully bidding for a stall. The bidder is also required to sign at once an express warranty and a licence agreement with the FEHD, or they will forfeit the rights to operate the stall.

An FEHD spokesman said that successful bidders should comply with all the stipulations and provisions as set out in the licence agreement including not to assign, sublet, transfer or otherwise part with any of the benefits or obligations of the licence agreement. Otherwise, the department is entitled to terminate the agreement and the licensee shall immediately vacate the stall and the licence fee will not be refunded.

Stall licensees should not mutilate, destroy, damage or abandon any unsold commodities at or in the vicinity of their stalls. They shall completely remove the stall structure and all paraphernalia, together with all refuse, debris and unsold commodities (whether damaged or otherwise) from the licensed area before 10pm on March 5, 2015.

For more information about the auction, please call FEHD Sha Tin District Environmental Hygiene Office at 2634 0134.
