Held today at the Crown Spa Hotel Scarborough.
We handled the usual committee meeting issues and spent the traditional November meeting finalising the Annual Ball. The evening should be good and a lot of work has been put in by the social committee.
After we met the coucil representative and two hoteliers (guest providers?) from Hartleypool (Don't mention the monekey!). In hartlepool the council make no exception for the parking for the tourist over night stay industry, the hoteliers have to pay £250 per parking place! They were very interetsed in the consessions Scarborough Hoteliers had negotiated, £1 for upto 4 days. Presently our organisation has spent £3,821.00 on parking this year (last year was £2978.93), the main reason (95%) is due to the increase in parking costs. Without this valuble cosessions the tourism business in the borough would be adversely affected not just profits but total visitor numbers. Maybe we aren't badly provided for in the parking area after all?
