I'd thought I'd warn you that numbers are well down for the year based on our estimates. The Easter weekend gave us a bit of a boost, and I met a nice visitor from New Zealand and another from Malaysia but tourist projections for the rest of the year are very depressing. Even though this is only a small part of the Trust's revenue at this point, we are aiming to use the visitation figures for grant proposals and private funding efforts.

You don't seem to have been around recently or we could have discussed this, but I think we may need to have a board meeting to discuss what to do about the foot and mouth crisis in the countryside.
