  I think some communication and co-ordination wouldn't go amiss either. Notifying the relevant businesses of the programme of events for the year gives them the chance to plan resource etc., and make sure their insurance covers them for the extra hours (which may be a disincentivising cost of course).
  
  DDC has an Events Committee who laud it over all the voluntary groups trynig to do stuff for Dover, ansdd surely part of their job should be to co-ordinate the year's activitiesd to maximise the benefit to the town.
  
  For example, it's not difficult to find out when there are two/three cruise ships scheduled to be in port at the same time, and, maybe tie the Carnival and a Market Square concert and Pencester Fair together. Also, do the same for Regatta weekend, tie that in with other events such as opening The Grand Shaft or Roman paintd House or something like that at the same time to take advantage of the numbers of people out and about.
  
  It's also not rocket science to pull these things together and then bring in the marketeers to tell the world what is happening. It just requires a bit of passion and a bit of effort.
