In July 2011, David R said about The Afton Hotel
Recently when I decided to host a Tweetup with thebestof I was thinking of a number of venues. I dropped by the Afton Hotel and talked with Fiona about what they could offer. The main problem I was facing was not know how big the event would be. After all it was arranged purely through Twitter so it could have been a few or even a large group.
I was told how the Afton Hotel can cope with small gatherings to that of a large function. This made them the perfect choice. Better than expected they even provided a range of tasty snacks appreciated by all the attendees.
We shall continue to host the tweetup's there for as long as @aftonhotel will have us.
A big thank your to Marco, Cathy, Fiona, Jason and the bar team who all played a part in making the evening a success!

I was apprehensive about new double glazing spoiling the appearance of our Victorian House but was impressed by other customers' comments and my enquiries into Swain Bros' reputation. The business is run by two brothers with no salesmen or employees. They gave very helpful advice, the price was very reasonable, the installation was quick and efficient and the end result looks super. I would highly recommend them.

David has been so incredibly supportive of the work we do at Teenage Cancer Trust and always goes the extra mile to offer his help, support and expertise. Dave was instrumental in raising awareness of our Blue Day campaign last October and has also got fully behind our brand new Time for T campaign taking place on 24th May, tirelessly handing our posters and postcards and talking to his contacts about the event, encouraging as many people as possible to get involved. He supports our Eastbourne Fundraising group with advice and contacts and he offered to help them recruit a new volunteer Chairperson. Dave has helped set up and develop facebook sites and other online information and he has even managed to get me Tweeting for the first time ever!!!
So THANK YOU Dave for all that you do to help and support me to do my job which in turn goes towards helping local young people fighting cancer. We could not do our work without the kindness and hard work of amazing people like you. Many, many thanks.

The very first time I walked into the Afton Hotel in Eastbourne last year for the very first Tweetup get together I was so nerves I did not know what to expect these where complete strangers I had been talking with on Twitter about Holidays & local businesses plus every day talk. Well I dont know why I felt so nerves because when I walked in it was like walking into a room full of friends you had known for ever, David Ruddle who with out this person & his out going personality this would not have be possible & so successful he is an inspiration to us all, His hard work promoting local business, he was there in person to great you, and before long you knew you had made long term friends & extended your work contact list, as it was so great that so many different businesses & local people mixed so well. The talk & ideas that followed over this last year have been enlist I am so thankful I made that first step, if you have not done so yet please do come along & meet us all & Thank you to you all.

Wow what can I say about David. One of the most hard working people I think I have met. He is an excellent networker on behalf of the members of The Best Of Eastbourne and Buy Local. He seems to know EVERYONE and can quickly think of a provider for any need.
Its not just David that makes The Best Of Eastbourne work though. The testimonials are a great way for customers to feedback, the website is neat, tidy and easy to navigate and the community spirit generated by the members is great.

We think David is a superstar, he has really brought the Best of Eastbourne to life. His knowledge of the town is second to none, many times have i asked him "do you know anybody that ?? " and he instantly comes up with a brilliant local business. For a small business like ours he is brilliant to have an association with. Thank you David for all your help :-)

David is a personable and approachable person who works tirelessly for 'The Best of Eastbourne'. This is a website, but so much more, that does what it says on the tin, which is to provide knowledge of what is best in Eastbourne. With David at its helm, this is a ship worth boarding if you're a business who wants to be involved in the town or simply someone who wants a recommendation for any local type of service provider or business. He also instigated 'tweetups' which are a great way of socialising and networking for anyone that gets involved in social media.
