I presume we'll all get discount for next year then? Reward to loyal customers and all that!

That was mentioned a while back, along with the promise of new boats!
they used to do it a few years back, I think you had to have 3 bookings to get some kind of discount, if I remember correctly.
Regarding the "....records higher TT visitors" I always think they're saying it's "a record" the number of visitors this year!
maybe it's just the way it's worded!!
Numbers are still down on 2 years ago, tho'!
