I don't know if it is me being thick, no comments thank you, but I have only just realised just what a fantastic coup for Skegness this years SO Festival is going to be as Games Time comes to Skegness between 22nd and 24th July.
Games Time is very much linked to the London Olympics of 2012 and as such will have some fantastic publicity.
As I understand it Skegness was selected from a large number of applicants to stage this fantastic event along with 4 major cities in the UK. For Skegness to beat of bids from some of the major cities in this country is a fantastic achievement.
Apparently, last years SO Festival attracted an extra 30,000 visitors to the town and an extra spend of £1.25 millinon came into our economy, not counting accommodation costs. I would expect this years festival to be an even greater success bringing with it further good economic news for our town.
Let's all work together on this and make it a fantastic success and make it something that will further enhance the standing of Skegness as a cultural destination following on from the successes of 2009 and 2010.
