With Akismet, when a GuideMatch query is identified as spam Guide Match is a powerful tool for independent travellers to the system will no longer trigger an email to three guides.

These happen when Personal Leads: exact matches are not available. Even so, suggest dates or tours that you can do or encourage a prospective client to search again with different criteria. Occasionally we hear of enquiries which have been ignored by all three guides. This creates a very poor impression. Alex Hetherington APTG’S THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY! Also in this issue: Join us for an evening of fun to celebrate APTG's Thirtieth Birthday on Thursday 17 October 2019. Set in the beautiful surrounding of Haberdasher's Hall in CHAIR’S LETTER - PAGE 2 Smithfield, we will start proceedings at 6pm with a drinks reception giving POTENTIAL PARTNERS - PAGE 3 everyone a chance to mingle with members past and present. We will then enjoy CHARTERHOUSE - PAGES 4/5 a sit-down three course dinner where we will be entertained by guest speaker Colonel Richard Harrold OBE CVO, a retired Tower Governor and Keeper of Her GUIDING NEWS - PAGE 6 Majesty’s Jewel House.

GARTER KNIGHTS - PAGE 8 ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL TOURIST GUIDES www.guidelondon.org.uk August 2019 Union news LETTER FROM THE CHAIR It is peak season and busier than ever. There are lots of opportunities for members to work with agencies chasing experienced qualified guides. Many tired guides look over their packed diaries and forward to their next day off, often weeks away. Amongst this are updates of changes to sites with restrictions imposed as popular venues seek to manage their ever increasing visitor numbers. London is thriving as a visitor attraction with world class cuisine, accessible heritage and accommodation available for every budget. Crowd management is a crucial part of the visitor experience. BBTGs can be seen as part of that mix. Whilst tour managing in Europe I have been struck by how much European guides help to actively manage the crowds. In Versailles our guide chivvied those blocking doorways. At Dachau the guide politely challenged other visitors taking inappropriate selfies. Whilst we are employed to look after our own clients on the day, our long term relationship is with every historic site. We should aim to be part of their crowd management solution, helping visitor flow and enjoyment - and not just for those clients who are with us. Becoming part of the virtual site team for our visit, keeping the queue moving and telling happy snappers when photography is not permitted will all endear us to site staff. After all, our guiding access is a privilege and not a right and, like every relationship, it needs constant care and attention. Elsewhere in this issue you will see details of our Thirtieth Anniversary Party on 17 October (pages one and three). It will be a grand affair and a chance to dress up and enjoy the company of the finest blue badge guides in London. We will honour those who established APTG thirty years ago and made guiding a viable, paid-for profession and not just something for hobbyists and the retired. We have an entertaining after dinner speaker plus dancing to some carefully curated sounds. Please book your places early for a memorable evening. Lastly, following a harrowing examination process by the most exacting assessors, I have recently learned that I passed my City of London Guiding Course. We should never stop learning and our Autumn CPD programme will soon be announced. We are including a wide range of refresher sessions with some ‘virtual tours’ using images and the Unite meeting room. We will be offering training on sleep management too, so tired Guides can learn how to best recover overnight. It is just another way of celebrating thirty years of the Assoxiation of Professional Tourist Guides. Best wishes, Nick Hancock.

The evaluation was carried out in advance of development of the site for a new cryostore between Dawson Hall to the north and the Joseph Rotblat Building to the south. The evaluation was commissioned by Queen Mary University of London following recommendations from Historic England. The evaluation was recommended due to the site’s location within the former footprint of the eastern range of the cloister of the Carthusian Charterhouse founded in 1371. The site held potential to expose wall footings and floor surfaces related to this institution, as the door to monastic Cell S remains in situ from when it was excavated in the late 1950s. Four trial trenches were sited to cover the footprint of the proposed development and evaluate the depth and level of survival of archaeology. In the event no archaeological features were exposed in any of the four pits. Rather, natural ground was shown to be sealed below deep deposits of made-ground dating from the 16th century up to the 19th century.

  • Meeting of the Executive Member for Neighbourhood Services And
    Meeting of the Executive Member for 15 October 2008 Neighbourhood Services and Advisory Panel Report of the Director of Neighbourhood Services YORKSHIRE IN BLOOM Summary 1. This report informs Members of the outcome of our entry into the Yorkshire in Bloom competition 2008 and the work undertaken in relation to the entry. Background 2. The Yorkshire in Bloom competition is an annual event, which York entered last year for the first time since 1998,and were awarded a silver Gilt, with the comments from the judges saying:. ‘An excellent tour of the City of York. The entrant had obviously studied the criteria and every aspect of the competition very well. The floral and sustainable planting clearly complimented the magnificent architecture of this wonderful city. The many diverse groups, individuals, local authority staff and personnel that we met during our tour enthused with civic pride. With such an excellent return to the Yorkshire in Bloom campaign and with a concerted effort reflecting the areas for future development, the City of York has all the attributes to achieve gold in the 2008 campaign and could easily aspire to a future national Britain in Bloom entry. 3. We have for the last 12 months continued to build upon the excellent work which led to last years results using the in bloom committee to coordinate all our efforts in this area, representatives from the following areas sat on the committee: council officers, members, city centre partnership, York press, Askham Bryan College, York St John University, volunteers from the public (ex council officers) and a representative from the Acomb traders.

  • Racing Backs Mccoy for Sports Personality Winner Submitted By: Easyodds.Com Monday, 6 December 2010
    Racing backs McCoy for Sports Personality Winner Submitted by: Easyodds.com Monday, 6 December 2010 Legendary jumps jockey Tony McCoy is odds-on favourite to be the 2010 BBC Sports Personality winner (http://www.easyodds.com/sports-betting/tv-and-awards-betting/awards/bbc-sports-personality.html) as the world of racing rallies behind one of their all-time greats. McCoy, who won his first ever Grand National this year on Don’t Push It, has seen the great and good of the sport come out and back his campaign – while a Facebook group called ‘Make Tony McCoy Sports Personality of the Year’ is 10,000 strong already. www.easyodds.com show Sports Personality odds (http://www.easyodds.com/sports-betting/tv-and-awards-betting/awards/bbc-sports-personality/outright.html) on McCoy were cut as soon as the 10-man shortlist was announced – even though we have never previously seen a Sports Personality winner from the world of racing. He is also looking to become the first North Irish champion since Mary Peters in 1972. However, the Sports Personality of the Year 2010 awards won’t be the first time that ‘AP’ has been in attendance – he also came third in 2002, behind David Beckham and Paula Radcliffe. However, McCoy may be scuppered by his own greatness. Having been Champion Jockey for the last 15 consecutive years, he accomplishes super-human feats every year - if he hasn’t won it by now then why should he win it this time around? This is the dilemma that McCoy supporters must solve if their man is to make Sports Personality history.
