Tourism Award 2012 - Poole Sea Safari

We made it!

We have got throught to the final and now just need the support of our friends and clients to see if we can beat the big boys in our group.

A real shame that they have put a picture on that is not our RIB! It is a Parker, but ....

If anyone one like to vote for us it would be very appreciated, but be warned it will cost a small fee, which I feel is unjust.

Regards
Steve

That's outrageous! - maybe they do it to stop entrants going onto fora and asking their mates to vote for them?

Maybe, but then when your aginst a large hotel that is part of a bigger chain, then you have to be "creative"

Oh, you can take it that their "Marketing Fluffies" will be implementing all sorts of dirty tricks campaigns. I should keep it up, if I were you...

Dave will be happy to see his rib being on the voting list but this error should be corrected.

Thanks to everyone who has voted, owe you a "beer"

Mark, they phoned when asking for a suitable picture in the next hour! As i was out on other business, they asked if they could take one from our Facebook page. Of the 1000's of pictures of our boat, they selected one of Dave's, at least it is a Parker .....
