Folk Week's here again

Another Folk Week is here. Even though we're always busy for folk week it isn't too bad as everyone is here for a full week aqnd we have a good crowd. Makes it a bit of a nightmare on the Saturday when everyone goes though with every room to do for people checking in for Bank Holiday.

Green Tourism Business Scheme Advisory Visit

We have just had our GTBS advisory visit. We thought we were doing a lot but there is a lot more to do. Fortunately most of it isn't too difficult (or expensive) to achieve. We can officially use the "Awaiting Grading" logo now on our advertising.

Regatta

The end of another Regatta weekend with the usual fantastic firework display from East Pier. Next year's event is going to be more of a problem for everyone as it conflicts with the first half of Folk Week and the Regatta organisers won't consider moving it. The Folk Week cannot readily move as it is part of a whole programme of events around the country and is always the week leading to bank holiday, whereas the Regatta is governed by tides which are a moving feast.
