Things have been moving along nicely since my last blog. Daffodils are in bloom, the site is looking altogether greener and after months of planning and hard work, Brompton Lakes was officially declared open on Friday 24th April by Rt Hon. William Hague MP.
We were joined on the day by over 100 guests, including local civil dignitaries, friends, family and Gary Verity, Chief Executive of ‘Welcome to Yorkshire’ (formerly the Yorkshire Tourist Board). I enjoyed the day enormously - not just because it marked the culmination of so much hard work by all involved but also because of the positive response from those who attended. William Hague described Brompton Lakes as “enormously impressive” in his speech to a packed marquee and as I mingled amongst the guests with celebratory Champagne in hand I was quite taken aback by the buzz of excitement. We were even pretty lucky with the weather, a little blustery on occasions but that didn’t seem to phase anyone – even Urban Birdsong, a classical duet who joined us to complete the setting managed to keep their sheet music in place as they moved around the site entertaining the guests.
All in all we couldn’t have hoped for a better day and with
10 completed lodges already attracting bookings from near and far and were all looking forward to the completion of the next phase. Also soon to be completed is the tennis court and broadband installation so soon we’ll be able to surf and serve to our 
hearts content!
