Due to detailed enquiries various people have been notified that the gun has been well and truly jumped - and not by anyone in North Wales.
That timetable was never discussed with anyone in authority and it was only when enquiries were made that the truth came to light and caution was advised.
The annoying thing is that an alternative itinerary is available to the steamer operators - not involving Llandudno at that date unfortunately, but bringing the paddler back to Liverpool on a routine that almost guarantees a sell out and maximum publicity - but the company seems to think it doesn't need that sort of thing.
Llandudno can then be scheduled for another more realistic date later in the summer when works are likely to be complete.
This was never going to be a quick or simple scheme to implement due to the mix of public money and private assets, which will take time to document - even when everyone wants to proceed as they do here.
Personally I can't wait to walk down the pier and sail away again - it seems a long time ago that I last did it.
