discount card for locals - good idea?
It's a great idea, I think, will certainly boost local businesses out of season.

Sounds good when you first look at it BUT.  I had an attractions card from North Wales Tourism that got me free entry into all the Attractions in Wales, not just Conwy.

The card was for me to check out and see for myself what each attraction had to offer so that I could then pass on that information first hand, to my guests.

Sounds good so far but the trouble with it was, when the attractions were open, so was I and as a consequence it never got used. :-}}}

Perhaps pubs should do the same, as soon as winter hits there's more life in a tramp's vest.

Just read the planning notice in Happy Valley --17 rabbit figures and 40 odd plaques in the pavement. Plaques  look OK on the planning which Oscar gave the link to, but can't say the same for the rabbits !

I think we run the danger of over egging the Alice pudding, to be honest. The town's connections with Alice were tenuous at best, the main physical link (Penmorfa) has gone, so what's left really? The Rabbits in the photo illustrations provided as part of the Planning Application look a little ridiculous, I think.

There was speculation on the Forum recently that it was the Alexandra.

The Alexandra is way beyond saving while the current owner/manager is in charge.
If she takes this hotel on, she will be fighting a losing battle.
