    Jobs, aesthetically pleasing, positive economic impact, tourism, community benefits.

    They should be begging us to submit it. In fact there actually should be council grants.

    I'm sure we can sort the good folks at GCC out with a few bungs as well.

    Aye I'd think so, there will no doubt be some sort of minor spanner in the works somewhere down the line though but as you said, we already own the land, we shall see.

    That's the official line, as someone who has won grants in the past 8 weeks the truth is slightly different.

    They say they can only give help in the form of meetings, seminars and online stuff but if you can prove you're not at it the money is still there.

    Huns think because they planned a casino and flying roof pitch that somehow that is better than us actually setting about doing this (which I have every faith we will)

    Aye, the top one is the Pink Sands Club in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Quoted as a place "where Billionaires go to avoid Millionaires" :56: Dermott and a Swiss banker co-own it.

    The bottom is Sandy Lane, Dermott and 3 other Irish guys co-own it.

    Desmond had the top one built from scratch and its only been opened a few years, the bottom one was always a famous hotel where American Presidents etc had stayed before decades ago but they bought it, decked everything and rebuilt it over 4 years in the late 90s and now its one of the top handful of hotels where celebrities and millionaires etc holiday. Tiger Woods had his wedding at it and Rihanna who bought a place at it used to perform at it before she was famous.

    Sandy Lane, one of the world’s most luxurious hotels, may be in for some stiff competition and surprisingly, it can come from an unusual source: an Irish financier who bankrolled the rebuilding of the Barbados property. Dermot Desmond, an Irish billionaire investor, who put up much of the money used to tear down and rebuild Sandy Lane several years ago, is spending the equivalent of $240 million on a new paradise for the rich on Canouan, a small island in St Vincent & the Grenadines. And if you think Sandy Lane is the top of line when it comes to luxury, think again, according to people who have seen it. “The attention to detail at Dermot Desmond’s new holiday playground for the super-rich, the Pink Sands Club, certainly knows no bounds,” stated the Irish Times, one of Ireland’s major daily papers. To get the word out to the financial investment community and to the super-rich, the Financial Times of London was given easy access to the Canouan resort and it quoted an employee of Desmond as saying “this is a James Bond island for our times.” And how would it compare with Sandy Lane? “The resort seems a level above even Sandy Lane in Barbados, which Desmond co-owns and rebuilt in 2001,” stated the Irish Times.
