Great news today, Rocpool Reserve restaurant has been booked for this year’s festival. After the initial difficulty finding volunteers and venues we’re pleased to share the news that there is a charity lunch event planned at the Rocpool restaurant where invited business leaders will participate in a round table discussion on the role of Social Media in their business and organisation.

David Sim and Rene Looper of 4TM Social Media will facilitate the discussion which will take place from 12 to 2pm at the Rocpool restaurant. An internet connection will be set up to share the thoughts of the people there and to interact with anyone that likes to share their Social Media story.

More info to follow!

We’re back!

Posted on: at 6:22 am - Comment

Return Flybe Flights to Belfast - Northern Ireland’s capital of fun and adventure

Bid for 2 direct return flights from Inverness to George Best Belfast City and get yourself over to a city that’s proud of its lively culture and infamous nightlife. Whether you’re having a few drinks in the historic Crown Saloon or dancing the night away in one of the city’s countless music bars, a great night out is guaranteed. The craic is legendary here, a must for weekend travelers in search of a good time.

Beyond the booze and bright lights, the scenery on Belfast’s doorstep is some of the most breathtaking in Europe. You could take a day trip to the Giant’s Causeway. Or for fans of angling, cycling or golf, the Glens of Antrim or the areas around Strangford Lough are simply unbeatable.

Flybe gives you more legroom than any other low priced airline. Which is great, because you’ll find your legs have plenty to do as you explore this great city by foot.
Get ready to place your bids…..
