June News

This month's news includes the fact that Brian and family are at the time of writing on holiday in the Isle of Man.
For those who do not know it, Brian has been a regular visitor to the Island to see the TT Races for many years.
This week is the 100th anniversary of the TT and as such is an extremely busy time.
All accommodation and transport to the island has been booked up for months. Brian booked his accommodation and ferry tickets over a year ago.
Even then the ferry time was changed 3 days before the arranged time and put back 12 hours from a daytime travel to a night-time one which is not very good when travelling with children.
We understand that the holiday is going well and they are having good weather.

It is hoped that Brian returns refreshed, one of the things awaiting his decision is the fact that the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar is making our imports from there much more expensive.
There will have to be a similar increase in our selling price for bulk supplies, and the cost of frames when selling finished doors.
This is likely to be in the order of 10% for all stock imported from now.
A direct letter to our customers will be sent out as soon as possible.

On a lighter note, the lads in the workshop have formed a 6 a-side football team, and in their first match they won by 6 goals to 1.
Congratulation lads.
