Website Guide

The online guide uses the latest database techniques to provide a registered member with search results that are tailored to suit their profile. This means that we prioritise the order of the adverts and events in their search results based on things that they have told us they prefer.
Proactive messaging and Alerting
The active diary will be packed with events and attractions and will be as proactive as the member sets it to be. If it is going on in the County and it matches their profile, the system tells them about it.
