CHARIPERSON'S LETTER

Well, our newsletter is finally back on track after a quater's absence due to lack of sponsorship, but with huge thanks to Guy Smith and Gowrie, we are back on track with a jam packed newsletter for you, although we are still looking for sponsorship for the next edition!!!
We are halfway through 2004 and tourism is looking brighter than ever for Notties. Out biggest event of this year is going to be the launch of our first ever Nottingham Road calendar, which will bring much 'exposure' to Nottingham Road! We are also to host our annual Vintage & Steam Show, Trout Fare and Springvale Horse Trials. A new addition to our calendar is our on Oktoberfest to be held on 9th October and new Boet & Swaar Show to be held on 27th November. Therefore we have an action packed few months ahead of us, just warming up to Christmas and another Lite Nite Shopping experience.
A few niggling issues still are called to our attention time and time again, one of which is the ad hoc erection of signage around our area. These range from signs tacked onto trees, hung from trees, badley placed flags, black boards etc. Please can you ensure that your signage is appropriate of our area, and most of all not a traffic hazard!


Kind Regards


Rebecca
