I've had cause to mention the sloppy standard of journalism in our local press before but last week's Newsletter has surpassed itself!
In one short article, it is stated that that the Bonfire and Fireworks takes place "next week" - accurate but not much help to anyone wanting to know when to turn up!
In another article about events taking place in Stone Town, we are told that the Bonfire and Fireworks take place on "Sunday 5th November". Anyone who doesn't check the calendar and turns up on Sunday (6th November) will be 24 hours too late!
And on the page which details bonfires in the area, it states that the admission price for an adult is £3 despite the fact that immediately below the article is an advert clearly stating that the price is £5!
So for all those who are now totally confused, let me confirm that the Stone Town Bonfire and Fireworks take place this SATURDAY 5th NOVEMBER at Westbridge Park. The Bonfire will be lit at 7.30 pm and the Fireworks will be set off at 8.00 pm. Admission is £5.00 per adult and £3.00 per child. A family ticket is £15 for 2 adults and up to 3 children.
