HUNT FOR THE<br />
GOLDEN TICKETS<br />
We’ve launched our own<br />
version of ‘Willy Wonka’ by hiding<br />
five Golden Tickets in locations<br />
across the islands this summer.<br />
The Golden Tickets are the<br />
latest in a series of community<br />
events and competitions being<br />
held this year, to celebrate<br />
our 50th anniversary.<br />
They could be hidden anywhere<br />
in the Bailiwick and each contain<br />
a pair of return tickets on the<br />
Aurigny network. Each of the<br />
tickets will be hidden on different<br />
days throughout the summer, with<br />
clues given to the public on the<br />
Aurigny Facebook page and near<br />
to where the tickets are hidden.<br />
Two of the tickets are being<br />
placed in top secret hiding spots<br />
and Aurigny has also teamed<br />
up with the North Show, West<br />
Show and Alderney Week to<br />
hide three of the other Golden<br />
Tickets in mystery locations during<br />
these major summer events.<br />
Aurigny’s PR Manager Paul<br />
Ainsworth said the latest<br />
information about the Golden<br />
Ticket Hunts would be provided<br />
on the Aurigny Facebook page<br />
through out the summer.<br />
‘We wanted to do something<br />
extra special this year to celebrate<br />
our 50th anniversary and this<br />
seemed like a great way to get the<br />
whole community involved. These<br />
tickets could be hidden anywhere.<br />
There are so many great locations.<br />
‘Of course, we’ll let the public<br />
know when each of the Golden<br />
Ticket Hunts is taking place and<br />
all they have to do is follow the<br />
clues that we give on the day.<br />
PAUL AINSWORTH, AURIGNY PR MANAGER,<br />
WITH THE GOLDEN TICKETS<br />
‘The first Hunt has already taken<br />
place and was a great success, and<br />
we’ve already found great hiding<br />
spots for the other tickets. Who<br />
knows, you could have walked<br />
past it this week and not realised.<br />
It could be near your home, or your<br />
work. You could be just metres<br />
away right now, you never know.’<br />
The Golden Ticket Hunt is<br />
open to people of all ages, but<br />
children must be accompanied<br />
by adults. To make sure you<br />
have the latest news on the<br />
Golden Tickets, keep an eye on<br />
the Aurigny Facebook page.<br />
Aurigny is also organising a<br />
number of other events this<br />
year for its 50th anniversary<br />
celebrations. These include this<br />
month’s Great Aircraft Pull, one-off<br />
European Day Trips and a Primary<br />
Schools Design Competition.<br />
GOLDEN DAY TRIPS TO EUROPE<br />
‘Golden’ European Day<br />
trips are also being planned<br />
this year to celebrate our<br />
50th anniversary in style.<br />
Last month Bordeaux became<br />
the first destination for our<br />
European Day Trips, coinciding<br />
with one of the most vibrant<br />
weekends at the popular French<br />
port city. The Guernsey contingent<br />
were able to enjoy and sample the<br />
Bordeaux Wine Festival, a leading<br />
European wine tourism event, and<br />
especially for the festival’s 20th<br />
anniversary, the city welcomed<br />
the prestigious Tall Ships Regatta,<br />
a race bringing together<br />
some of the world’s<br />
biggest and most eyecatching<br />
sailboats.<br />
The trip proved incredibly<br />
popular, with all the seats<br />
selling out in less than a<br />
week, and we are now<br />
busy planning further<br />
Golden European Day<br />
Trips for later in the year.<br />
This includes<br />
plans for a special<br />
trip to a mystery<br />
European location.<br />
