Do I get a prize?! Free flights and accomodation perhaps ?!
Just been reading through your forum, been to Roda 3 times and to be honest am loathe to go elsewhere now....though funds this year dictate camping with the midges in bonnie scotland!
Hopefully back to Theo's next year....minus the nasty incident where a one armed gentlemen who had just arrived put his leg through the plate glass window...not a fond memory
Looking forward to keeping up to speed with whats happening through your excellent forum
Jane

...and another. I could see it building as I was posting things a little while ago. We just exceeded our year-old record by having 40 active users online at the very same time. I think this reflects what is happening in the marketplace. In the last two years, the peak time for hits has been during the Easter period as people plan their holidays. It's a logical deadline for making a decision. This year, everyone has been holding back and maybe summer bookings have been delayed by some four weeks. Let's hope the increased traffic translates into bums on seats in Roda. Thank you to everyone .. now what's next?

What good news that is Steve! A tribute to all the work you and Pete put into the website and to all the members and guests who use the forum to exchange views and info. Lets hope Roda benefits as much as we do through the forum. Here's to reaching 500 members soon!

It's just a theory, but the extra traffic on the website might be an indicator of what is happening in the marketplace.
Two thirds of the UK travelling public have not yet committed to a summer holiday - the long eleven-day holiday period is now behind us - the exceptional weather has broken down - could it be that it is decision time in the UK?

Friends of mine are waiting till the last minute (Sept holiday) to book hoping it will be cheaper..........myself, I like to book early then I can save up for it..............and I've heard others are waiting for "a good deal"

Exceptional weather still going strong in Croydon and Roda is only 9 weeks away. Best of both worlds.

Our new record of users online was previously 93, Chris - and the users in the previous 24 hours leapt by about 100 to way over 500. Any idea why?
Interestingly, the shoutbox messages about Roda Taxis a couple of days ago resulted in 6 or 7 new enquiries for their services.

Steve, I think word is getting out there about Roda, and Corfu in general - I know many of our Forum members (including myself) do tend to 'harp on' about how it is such a great place to holiday - and at generally reasonable prices too, compared to many other destinations.
Numerous other social media sites (Forums, Facebook etc.) also seem to be promoting the Island as well.
Add to that the absolutely horrific 'Summer' weather the UK exxperienced last year - and from the forecasts I've read about, which does not seem to be looking too promising again this year either - then I think the combination of those circumstances goes toward answering your question!
Rgds, Chris
