Yesterday we welcomed a group of volunteer guides of Fountains Abbey.  There was quite a funny moment as they realised they all knew a couple, also visiting whilst on holiday in the area.  Then they found they knew others signing the petition on our front desk.  What a small world!

Today we will welcome some Finnish business people - might be an interesting tour! 

We are receiving donations daily and phonecalls of support.  One group is preparing a walk to show their support (more information to follow) - we hope the weather settles for them a bit.

There will a meeting on Friday with MSP's and the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council so hopefully there will be more news over the weekend.

1328 signatures on the petition.
