Another seminar I attended recently claimed that enquiries were up 41%, now that’s good news! But are they converting? Again I don’t know! My personal experience of the current market would probably say, not at anything like that rate. Conversations I have had with other venues and likeminded folk would also suggest that no one is expecting a bumper year, but on the other hand, the bottom hasn’t fallen out of the market either? Or has it? I just don’t know, because nobody is telling me, and my crystal ball is currently about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike!
So what has really changed since June last year? There has been a lot of huff and puff, the Government has produced a White Paper and we have been threatened with broccoli rationing. Meanwhile the world continues to turn and the England cricket team continues to struggle against spin bowling! To be honest I really don’t know what all the fuss is about, will someone please wake me up when something actually happens!
