From D C Le Plongeon.
REGARDING the International Festival of Motoring, it is a must that this is kept up.
Every year, this show has been going it has got bigger and better entries.
The show this year was amazing over the three days with many people coming over from the UK, overseas and Guernsey lads. These people spend a lot of money on travel, hotels and pubs, etc.
The States of Jersey should sponsor some of the funding. As Deputy Gerard Baudains said, the event is not likely to run next year because it is costing the organisers’ money.
He then asked the Economic Minister Alan Maclean for funding from his department, his remarks were we cannot hand out money willy nilly, it’s a pity he did not think of that when he and his cronies gave £200,000 of taxpayers’ money to some film company that may never come here or if they do it will probably be a one-off thing.
Get your facts right, Senator Maclean, and fund the festival.
