My Campaign Trail

A week and a half to go and what has happened so far? Well I've appeared in 2 local newspapers and received plenty of airtime throughout last Wednesday on Tameside Radio. My boyfriend has been rounding up votes from his customers at his cafe bar in Georgia. My friends and family have been rallying to get me additional support on Facebook and I have been updating the page with links, videos, photos etc - check it out! I'm now in the process of distributing flyers through doors and started the ball rolling by handing flyers out down at the local Band Contest (check video). I've even had t-shirts made with full details of the campaign and this led to my local councillor casting a vote for me on his phone! I went to watch the lovely Westlife of course wearing the tshirts and handed out yet more flyers. I'm having a great time! Keep VOTING! Thank you to all that have already it means THE WORLD (literally).

My manifesto

Here are the important reasons why I, Sarah Clapham, should be your holiday representative/ travel reviewer! Turning 30 this summer, I am of the perfect age to experience and review all sides of a great holiday, from fun to relaxation, from checking out the great range of good old English grub to experiencing a brand new cuisine from afar, all the way through to the different kinds of entertainment in the evenings. I will tell you exactly what we all really want to know about those resorts. Is the sea too rough? Is it white sand or golden sand? Is the buffet restaurant varied enough for the fussy eaters? Is the food warm enough? And so on and so on. I come from a working class background but working in the travel industry allowed me to take part in many different kinds of holiday so I can appreciate the young wanting their cheap and cheerful, basic rooms and those honeymooners who are looking for the special touches. Being a northern girl, I am very friendly and down to earth, no airs and graces, I will get stuck in and dig deep to get all the info you really need! Vote SARAH for your perfect holiday!
