Airborne this year was superb. I was actually effervescing with excitement on the first day! We absolutely loved the chinook with the blades and then were treated to the typhoon with spitfire. We love how much Eastbourne do to keep the event green, with all traders using compostable packaging and there were refill water stations all around too. It was supremely clean, with a fabulous team emptying bins, cleaning and stocking toilets continually. We felt safe and enjoyed the numerous attractions too. Well done to the airborne organisers.

I'm just back from my final dental bonding treatment. From start to finish I was very well looked after, I felt safe from covid and each visit I was made comfortable. My treatment was less than the quote too, so it was very good value for money. Thank you Dental Barn

Just back from my first real (in person) networking event with David Ruddle. David opened a great discussion about the power of reviews, how we can get them, respond to them and indeed use them! After introductions, we worked in small groups. David presented Designer Travel with her Spirit of Eastbourne award too. A nice introduction to getting back to normal from our life of virtual meetings! Thanks David, great job!

Today was my first dental bonding treatment. Everyone was so kind and explained everything. I was too scared to move a muscle, and they teased me for being so still! I'm actually looking forward to the next step!

The Dental Barn... The most helpful and kind dentist in the world... Possibly the universe?!?! Sadly, they don't do NHS patients, but don't let that put you off. They go way beyond the roll of dentist, to put you at ease, I only asked advice and they truly went above and beyond to help me. The videos with Alison are like several g&t with vallium to put the most anxious patient at ease! Super impressed!

I can't thank Mina enough. I was lucky enough to get some help with social media through Ditsy Media. I am already using twitter, but I was not really sure if my effort was misplaced; let's just say I had no confidence in the way I was using twitter. Mina talked me through so much, demonstrating on screen sharing things I should be looking at and trying. She was patient and kind throughout. I feel really enlightened and ready to practice what I have learned.

David kindly hosted a video meeting on Monday to get some of the members together for support and suggestions on how to restart our businesses after the lockdown. It was really good to meet some of the members and listen to the suggestions. I have been able to take the best bits and mind map my chaotic thoughts into a more ordered way. Today I have started to action the best bits and have had a bit more confidence to start actual promotion for future events rather than just keeping in touch with my followers. David has been great for following up after the call and his support and happiness is always welcome!

David kindly gave me a free trial on best of Eastbourne. Im very glad he did and I am now a paying member. David works exceptionally hard for all his members and I am very much looking forward to working with him.

Queen in September... The bandstand tried to blow up Brian in the wind and rain, but Freddy battled on... The crowd loved it and a great time was had by all despite the weather!!!

Fabulous display this year, thoroughly enjoyed every minute!

We had a thoroughly lovely airbourne 2019. The weather stayed dry and the backdrop was moody then beautiful blue for the last day. It was great to see more than just the usual burger bars, we enjoyed seafood(paella Pimm's and whitebait) on the lawns (very reasonably priced and all in compostable containers). We saw numberous litter pickers and there were plenty of bins available. We used the fresh water bottle filling stations regularly... A fabulous addition. On Saturday we took advantage of hospitality (ploughman's lunch at the view) and Sunday watched the fireworks from bandstand. On the lawns there was lots to see and do, with Thursday and Friday morning being less busy so smaller queues, perfect for our kids to enjoy. We are very sad it's all over now, but looking forward to next year!

A fabulous night out with fellow hoteliers! The meze was amazing and plentiful (it just kept coming!). Everything was very reasonably priced and service was excellent. EHA member hotels offer 10% disocunt (Sun-Thur) with the passport scheme. Highly recommended!

Carnival gas gone from strength to strength. The visitors love this event so it's really important that we all support it. Leaving from the lawns up to princes park where the fun fair is waiting!

David is such a good help, if ever I get stuck, I know I can call on him and if he can't help, he knows a man that can! He really is "the best of Eastbourne!"

The tribute acts are varied and there is something for everyone, the atmosphere is always fabulous! The 1812 is every Wednesday and features different brass and silver bands with a beautiful firework display to finish. Christmas, boxing day and new year the world's busiest bandstand host a free event too. My only concern is the queues for the bars, they should maybe consider a pre-order and collect system, or a separate beer and wine queue?

Airbourne is my favorite time of year, with so much to see and do, it is perfect. We love taking a chopper ride over the town. Ideally you should book accommodation with private parking as it gets busy. We always book hospitality for Saturday and Sunday so we have a base to come back to and if course an enjoyable lunch!!! There is a great variety of street food, not just burger Vans, we had whitebait as a snack, paella and Greek gyros from stalls on the lawns.

My last visit was for a special event held for EHA members (accommodation providers). We had a tour, and watched some Wonderful historic films of Eastbourne and met all the staff. It was a lovely and very impressive evening.
