Stand up For Seaton takes its luxury yacht to the Caribbean for Christmas - we wish!

The Stand Up for Seaton bloggers are taking a well-earned rest from today until 28 December 2006. We are presuming that Terry Dinham and his friends at Liatris are on their yachts in the Caribbean or perhaps ski-ing in some exclusive resort, sitting back and thinking of the riches coming to them in the next few years, thanks to Seaton (sorry, make that East Devon District Council).

We will be staying in Seaton, using parts of the View from Seaton wrap round from last week to keep our fires burning! If you want to post anything to the blog during this time, we will put it on the site.

Please put these important dates in your diary:

9 and 10 January 2007 - Information and Advice Days for the planning application - Seaton Town Hall - 10 am to 10 pm both days - come along to get advice or just to talk to us about what you think about the development.

17 January 2007 11 am - demonstration outside the holiday camp at 11 am. We are protesting at our loss of facilities when the camp closes - swimming pool, gym, day nursery, meeting and conference facilities, Grizzly headquarters for 2,100 runners and more than 400 overnight tourist beds currently operating at 80% capacity year round. FANCY DRESS OPTIONAL.

26 January 2007 - all objections have to be received by East Devon District Council.

PLEASE SEND IN YOUR OBJECTIONS EVEN IF YOU CANNOT GET TO ANY OF OUR EVENTS - EVERY LETTER COUNTS.

And it's still not too late to volunteer to take our newsletter round Seaton. If you want to take a walk (short or long) delivering some of them, then contact us at: axevalleyrocks@yahoo.co.uk.

STAND UP FOR SEATON - PLEASE!
