Elham Valley Tourism Group (EVTG)
A tourism meeting was held at the Rose & Crown, Elham on the Tuesday 4th May 2010 to review the final stages of the Elham Valley Country Breaks project and to gain and idea as to how this tourism initiative could be continued. Copies of the Elham Valley Country Break and Attractions Listings in Adobe PDF can be downloaded here.
Visit Kent are currently working on sending the country break live with the initial version up on the VK site by the end of May Bank Holiday. Due to the amount of content generated Visit Kent will be developing a micro-site as well.
There was a short explanation of what Hidden Britain is.. (Hidden Britain is a SEEDA funded project working to assist rural areas develop tourism). The project will continue to support the Elham Valley businesses and organisations working together if there is the enthusiasm and interest in doing so.
Hidden Britain has previously worked with Elham developing the "Country Break in Elham" Publication, as well as working with many more villages, towns and areas across the region. Representatives from Chilham and St.Margaret's attended the meeting and gave an outline of their experience in working together within a destination. More information on these groups can be found at their websites:

Following on from this there was discussion that concluded (at least from those in attendance) that the businesses of the Elham Valley are keen to continue to work together and explore options for further activities to develop the Valley as a destination.
Based on this, the group agreed to hold the next meeting on Tuesday 25th May 6pm at the Rose & Crown (Thanks go to Hayley for providing the venue).
