Summer is here and this year’s been<br />
one of our busiest ever, both at the<br />
airport and out in the community.<br />
This is largely thanks to our 50th anniversary<br />
celebrations, which are now in full swing<br />
with exciting events organised, and so many<br />
people playing their part. By now, you may<br />
have seen that we are running our very own<br />
‘Willy Wonka’-style Golden Ticket giveaway,<br />
hiding five tickets somewhere in the islands<br />
– keep an eye on our Facebook page for<br />
the latest clues and details. We’ve also just<br />
announced the winner of our hugely popular<br />
Primary Schools Design Competition and are<br />
busy organising our one-off ‘Golden’ Day Trips<br />
to European destination (see pages 8-9 for<br />
the latest 50th anniversary news). Throughout<br />
the year, we’ll have plenty more events<br />
planned to ensure we celebrate our 50th<br />
birthday in style and we hope you’ll join us.<br />
Here in Guernsey, we’re also entering one of<br />
our busiest ever summers, helping to connect<br />
tens of thousands of you for your holidays and<br />
island breaks. In Guernsey and Alderney, July<br />
and August is a prime time to visit, packed<br />
with the very best events and shows for<br />
families to enjoy. As an airline, we’ll be out and<br />
about raising awareness of our services and<br />
raising funds for the GSPCA and MUG (Male<br />
Uprising Guernsey), our two Chosen Charities<br />
of the Year. You’ll easily spot us thanks to<br />
our distinctive children’s attraction ‘Junior<br />
Joey’, so please come over and say hello.<br />
In this edition of <strong>En</strong> <strong>Voyage</strong>, I’m pleased to<br />
say we’ve got all you need to know about<br />
summer events in Guernsey (pages 16-18)<br />
and how to get the most out of your family<br />
holiday on the island (pages 22-24). As well as<br />
its stunning beaches and beautiful scenery,<br />
Guernsey prides itself on quality food and has<br />
so many venues around the island, offering a<br />
variety of cuisines, delicacies and snacks. For<br />
the ultimate treat, which you can take your<br />
time over, why not experience some of the<br />
very best afternoon teas we have to offer here<br />
in Guernsey? Just flick over to pages 66-68 to<br />
discover some of best-known establishments<br />
to enjoy this quintessentially British tradition.<br />
If you’re looking for great places to visit in<br />
Europe, we’ve got all you need to know about<br />
London connections to Germany, pages 37-<br />
39. But if you want something a little closer to<br />
home, the New Forest in Hampshire has so<br />
much to explore. A place of charm and natural<br />
beauty, we show you all you can explore in 48<br />
hours at the national park on pages 44-46.<br />
Whatever you have planned this summer,<br />
whether it’s in Guernsey, the UK or halfway<br />
around the world, we hope you have a<br />
great time with your friends and family.<br />
Have a great trip with us and we look<br />
forward to seeing you soon!<br />
