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