  Thanks for the plaudits and brickbats
  
  Roger - tourism was touched on in much of the discussion as it lies behind many of the initiatives and we must always remember that on average a tourist will spend £55 per day in our town - so yes we need to make it attractive for those who come to visit as well as for those who live here.
  
  Of course it would be great if the town could afford to fund one or more full time positions to co-ordinate this, but that just inst feasible at this juncture so we will have to look to leverage off the good endeavours of the pool of volunteer talent and whatever we can squeeze out of council officers.
  
  Philip - it may be just another bank holiday to you - I see it as a catalyst to energise the town around making Dover a better place for all, a way to encourage and promote pride in the place we live, work and play and a way to improve it. It is only pointless with the "cant do - wont do" attitude people like you so vocally display. I will continue to do my bit and encourage others to demonstrate a "can do" approach that ultimately will see this town turn itself around and become an even better place to live than it already is.
