This will provide greater opportunities for regularly updated village information to be shared. A colourful attractive Visitor Map of Saundersfoot Bay will be available from all members. The map provides visitors with an overview of the whole bay and the main walks and views that are within easy reach. are being planned to be located in prominent position(s) displaying the map around and along Saundersfoot Bay. A new leaflet is being produced that advertises Saundersfoot Bay and 100,000 of these will be widely circulated and made available to both returning and potential new visitors. Whenever it is possible and appropriate we will strive to support and work with key partner organisations and to also include and feature the businesses and together we can best promote what an increasingly attractive, varied, desirable and well known visitor destination Saundersfoot and the whole Bay is. We thank all the organisations that have supported us throughout the last twelve months, with special thanks to Saundersfoot Community Council, The Harbour Commissioners and Michael Davies, Harbour Manager, all of whom have helped in so many valued ways. Our major challenge is that we are totally dependent on the time and efforts freely given by our volunteers for all aspects of what we do. Thank you to all members who have supported us (a list can be found in the centre of this booklet) and we ask all residents and visitors to the area in turn to support them. Thank You.
