I think £45.00 is about the going rate if it is a full set ~1.5 hours. |

It's FROM £45. If you want a seat where you can see / hear him properly it's about £95.
'course being some way from the stage will at least mean you won't hear his knees popping...

That's a good advert for the town and local area.
It was called Visit Newbury rather than Visit West Berkshire because it was felt Newbury was more of a significant landmark. You may remember back in 1998, the then fledgling Unitary Authority decided after "extensive" public consultation that we should be called West Berkshire District rather than Newbury District. This involved changing everything at tremendous cost to the taxpayer from Newbury District Council to West Berkshire District Council. Thats how we ended up with our pretty green colour. The initial cost of the website was/is £25,000 |

"There is a huge wealth of great days out in the Newbury area." This is the first sentence I read. Did they get a Newbury Pole to write this rubbish? |

Obviously written by someone who is a little bit illiterate.
"Lambourn is known as Valley of the Racehorse as it is home to over many of the country's top trainers. To visit the stables, meet the stars of the racing world and have a great day out visit the village on Good Friday." |

From memory, I think we (or the select few who are allowed to participate in these public consultations) had a choice of 3. 1. Newbury District Council which already existed and would have been virtually zero cost. 2. Newbury & West Berkshire District Council, which if we were going to change was more definitive and could have been changed gradually. 3. West Berkshire District Council, which was more obscure and would cost a lot of money to change all of the stationery, road signs etc. Guess which one we chose. |

I think you are being a little unfair with your criticisms. It has not been officially launched and it is a large website. There are bound to be a few gremlins in the system.
I am sure that the “team” at visit Newbury will be grateful for your input, so that they can rectify the mistakes before the official launch. |
