Cant post the link, but it is in the Cardiff council website.

I was there with work a few months ago, a lot of work has gone on to bring the island into self sufficiency, there are only a few full time staff members with the rest being volunteers etc..

You never know, maybe a marina for visiting boats would be on the cards !!!

3 full time paid staff on the island, upto 8 volunteers who stay for 6 months, all expenses paid, 1 full time coxwain, 1 part time coxwain for the Lewis Alexander.1 office based island manager, 1 person who takes the bookings over the phone...so all in all, alot of potential redundancys.

lots of work carried out on the foghorn cottage last year bringing it up to a decent standard to rent out ,the furniture was donated by John Lewis and is of good quality as is the new kitchens.
its a crying shame but not sustanable as a going concern.

you really have to question what the council are doing employing from what you say 7 people fuill time on such a venture. why does flatholm need anyone at all?

To be fair it is only 5 full time staff, the office guy does other work as well as FH stuff, if you go onto FH website you will see what they do or did.

As I understand it Cardiff Bay Yacht Club are thinking of putting in a bid. At least it will stay put unlike the PYC ODM.

have you seen the marina income these days? They can easily borrow enough money covering the interest chanrges with their income. And it wont fethc 3 million either - who else would want it. Maybe the RSPB?
