Day 5 (Tuesday) Chins-Up
Today Tuesday November 24th we are all in better spirits the public support is absolutely incredible, the offer of assistance from almost every hotel in cork kerry and today even as far as Dublin. Over 1200 emails of best wishes and sadness at it temporary closure. Today the staff were updated on progress which was not much as architects, engineers and loss adjusters were all surveying the damage.
A million thanks to the general public for their offers of help to clean up and get assist in any way and all the genuine business people offering various levels of support and services with no personal financial gain. The goodwill alone is invaluable and very much appreciated by The Owners and staff.
Thanks to the media for not straying from the stories given to them. To our own staff for their chin -up approach to the situation.
After today we have no date for reopening and possibly wont for another few days, but there is one thing I know for sure...........The Kingsley Hotel is missed by a lot of people and we will be back better and stronger than ever before.The full team at the Hotel are all fired up, eager and ready to strike back as soon as is humanly possible.
To all our Leisure Club members who will all be personally contacted by Thursday and to the People who reside at The Kingsley Residences thank you all for your patience and understanding....we really appreciate it and hope to have you all back training and in your Residences sooner rather than later.
