EDITOR’S LETTER<br />
The sun is shining here in Brighton at last, and with it, local residents and visitors alike are coming<br />
out of the woodwork once again. And as I write this, there’s a lift in the sporting air, since England<br />
have just won their third (and all important) World Cup game, Wimbledon are aghast at the recordbreaking<br />
ten hour tennis match (so far) between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, and beautiful hats<br />
and beings have been adorning the racecourses for the numerous Ladies Days that have been taking<br />
place across the land. It seems there really is no better place to be this summer than right here in<br />
‘Blighty.’<br />
Having said that, one land, often unthought-of as a holiday destination (and looks stunning) is<br />
Peru. Local businessman, and regular Absolute Brighton business columnist, Roger Clifton-Moore<br />
recently took a mammoth trek through Peru with two of his children and a friend to celebrate his<br />
60th birthday in style; and style it was. He proved that you don’t have to be 20-something to trek up<br />
mountains of 5000 metres and camp out in the desert! You can read about Roger’s exciting adventure<br />
on page 44.<br />
The forthcoming new Albion Stadium has been the talk of the town for some time now. And sure<br />
enough, it is now in full progress, looking ready for its completion deadline in 2011. I was fortunate<br />
enough to be invited to visit what is Brighton’s most exciting project, taking place in Falmer, for a<br />
private tour. Recently revealed as being called The American Express Community Stadium, this new<br />
arena is quite astounding from the players and fans point of view, and also for local businesses for<br />
functions with its impressive suites and striking architecture. Chief Executive of The Albion, Martin<br />
Perry gave me my guided tour of this new Sussex landmark. (Page 54)<br />
Well, with bikinis and trunks on the ready, have a lovely and hot July!<br />
