It comes over and is only interested in TT because of the increased footfall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's invited over with Govt support, subject to licencing conditions being met and a licence to operate issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have waived any licence fees, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually there was a u-turn (from memory) due to the outcry. It's most unlikely that a fair is just going to rock up onto these shores without prior Govt invitation or approval, particularly given the stringency that now exists around marketing and events during the TT period.

The fair owners know there's easy pickings here so just applied for a licence pretty much like the food vendors used to do. The Government don't have to invite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I doubt the Government really want the fair here and I would be surprised if they encouraged them in any way but to keep the natives happy they have issued the appropriate licences and I bet they charged them plenty ,as well they should, going by the amounts they were charging the outlets behind the grandstand.
