  I received that too Howard, but decided that as the tourism strategy I had written and sent out for consultation, inviting input, was totally ignored by WCCTA, DTC and the T.T. anything I say or promote, will will be heavily put down.

  Would suggest the speakers and audience may be wider than Dover Roger, this is regional/sub regional with a national agenda theme.
  
  Dover's international status with port destination on a trans european transport network, the second largest cruise terminal operator nationally & it's heritage & environmental status needs a bigger input other than just local groups. Dover ought to take advantage of the opportunity.
