@GuernseyTri @andydovey @distance_gg @gg_marathon @GuernseyUltra Maybe hold that element on a Sunday morning and close the west coast road for several hours as a one-off?

Time to reactivate this account and get Guernsey Sports Tourism moving!

[Sports Tourism Action Group @GsySTAG]

Inside 24 hours 9 extremely interesting sports tourism suggestions have been put forward right across the scale range. All look potentially viable and repeatable, and ideal for Guernsey to host using existing facilities and our great coastline. Let's keep the ideas coming in!

@GsySTAG @andydovey @gg_marathon has the potential to be huge! A larger event planned this year with island wide entertainment in future

[Julie Todd @ToddAssoc1]

Don’t forget that the Skipton Cup @SkiptonInt between @guernseyfc and FC Isle of Man is taking place at Footes Lane on 31st July! Sports tourism at its best!

@andydovey @distance_gg @gg_marathon @GuernseyUltra @GuernseyTri By coincidence had a meeting about exactly this yesterday, resurrecting what were extremely successful regular events hosted by Guernsey for several years. Let's bring them back. What a great way to showcase the island.

@distance_gg @GsySTAG @gg_marathon @GuernseyUltra Along with Granite Man with the @GuernseyTri I am sure pre COVID there were UK entrants …… this could be a lot bigger with some help I’m sure.

@andreaustin1 @TheGolfClubSPP Brilliant idea and the perfect venue!

[Andre Austin @andreaustin1]

@GsySTAG British Par 3 Championships at @TheGolfClubSPP

@GsySTAG We are ready and waiting to play our part!

@MrsCulverwell @GsySTAG Such a good idea Nic. Scilly Isles have a big swimming festival that sells out in hours each year, would be fantastic to see something similar here!

[Sports Tourism Action Group @GsySTAG]

@LifeDeathGavin An annual Sevens event would be a perfect one to develop.

[Chris Gnapp @Chris_Gnapp]

@GsySTAG Can we start with a British & Irish Lions Training Camp? Oh, hold on......
On a serious note, happy to be involved if needed and will give my full support.

Guernsey Deputies take note - the same must happen here for the 2020 election https://t.co/gObj8GL9Et

[Rory O'Reilly @roryoreilly_]

it's cheaper for my girlfriend to fly to Jersey from Ireland than it is for me to get there and I can see it from the top of my road. Absolutely ridiculous.

[David Piesing @DavidPiesing63]

Excellent news for CI sport @GsySTAG https://t.co/SATkAC2RRk

[David Piesing @DavidPiesing63]

Can’t say any more at this stage but there’s further very positive news for local sport to be announced over the next week.....

[David Piesing @DavidPiesing63]

Well done to Martin Belcher and Peter Stahelin for all their work and drive to get the Guernsey Sports Lottery launched. Now let’s all get fully behind it and raise vital extra funding to help local sport!

[Andrew Chambers. @mediacol]

@BBCGuernsey Aurigny is too small to operate an effective and profitable low cost model. Introduce a fixed flat rate and stop all the complicated and expensive messing around. “That’s the price....fill the seats!” When planes are full then you can start to put prices up.

@HeidiSoulsby Can’t help thinking back to the 70s and 80s when there were dozens of motorcycle deaths, often 14-17 year olds.
