$4,000 between 5 charities is not much money at all! How much did BTA/ Corporation of St. G give them for this event? They are not even staying in the East End. Wasted of tax payers money!

My wife and I are excited at returning to Bermuda again. My first visit was in 1961 as a young batchelor. That was when the 6 pence coin was real silver and would cover alot! It was a great week staying at the Coral Island Club across from the aquarium and driving my motor bike everywhere. Since then I have had two return trips with my wife back in the 70s. That was when the Russian Tall Ship was visiting. We even toured aboard which we couldn’t do when it was visiting Baltimore. Thanks for your friendly comments.

Maybe they should be hired, being the B.T.A gift club is in full swing.

Let’s give these guys the best welcome we can, and suggest they have a look around some of our forts and the Commissioner’s House in Dockyard- and I’ll bet you they’ll come back. We have so much shared history with the US AND the UK, especially in military matters, that we really do not capitalize enough on as part of our tourism product. Historical tourism is a big draw for sites all over the world (think the Jamestown settlement, or Stratford-on-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare) and we’ve got plenty of history and the big iron guns to go with it- PLUS the beach! Let’s work with what we’ve got!

This group will bring in more people at their own expense than BTA can bring in a year of free trips they give away. Plus the group is bringing a $4,000 gift for Bermuda charities. Good job!

Back then it was called “appropriate”, today we call it theft.

The irony of the actual event, whereby ones worse enemy ended up becoming ones best friend…In any case, this sounds like a grand occasion and we look forward in attending.
