Fun Fair

[finlo 4,876]

I believe we paid the boat fare for them at one time anyway.

Really, I cannot see how it pays then after the Packet charges and paying all the staff.   It arrived today and I cannot see those large trucks laden with heavy crap are going to improve the walkway, I just hope when we get our new look, expensive promenade they will not be allowed near it.    There must be somewhere else they could put it.

glad you can't work it out....

Do they have to pay tax on the earnings? Is there any subsidy given ?

Even if every single child in the IOM goes to the funfair and spends around £10 each you are looking at a collection of around £150k ( assuming 15000 children )

 

Does not make any financial sense after staff salary , travel costs , equipment cost .

 

The question is whether anyone knows how much earnings are declared. It is cash only anyway. 

yes

I concur, when we have the super duper granite and gold encrusted promenade the fair should and must be banished forever!

Noooo. I reckon it is 100% above board. Whatever were you thinking?

I also believe Govt paid Douglas Corp for the "hire" of the prom. £60k is the figure that comes to mind. Yet another hidden "cost" of the TT.

That makes sense then . No way could a funfair make enough money to cover a 50-60 k rent over 10 days after staff costs/travel etc.

So, what have bushys paid IOMGov for the Villa??? why are the corpy making noises about tendering???

[Dirty Buggane 200]

Corpy do not/cannot charge for the prom as it is the DOI property. They can charge for all the parking spaces that are taken up by the tents on the bottle neck.

[piebaps 3,313]

DOI identify themselves as the owners of the walkway in this planning application https://services.gov.im/planningapplication/services/planning/copyright.iom?ApplicationReferenceNumber=15/00594/B&Description=/1500594B Application Form.pdf&Ref=%2bceE8elaU2knTgL6hTzYQfYiTgP5y3T%2fbEDIKCHQ%2bBF675m%2beVnD%2fqI5MvCR8W4UCd4QOJNm1KIr8pcz9q8mKwadb8ZGyGDz6viIhpWzdbdaZ7eH4OTeiw%3d%3d

Any renting arrangements therefore can't include the corpy as DB quite rightly points out. Much myth on this thread and little fact - which makes it very MFish.

That's a bit easier. Corpy are upset that after doing a deal with the Ram, Bushys have done a better one for the Villa. They're now posturing about the tender process in a typical corpy sour grape hissy fit.

Perhaps the missing chain has been the subject of an FOI request too - that'd really cheese em off.

They could try keeping it on the mainland...

It would be better if they kept it in the UK.

Much, much better.
