OFFICIALS from Scarborough have been promoting the seaside resort at a national event.

A team of delegates from the Scarborough Conference Bureau attended the National Venue Show.

Held at the National Exhibition Centre, in Birmingham, the exhibition offered the chance to highlight the town's attractions.

Staged over three days, the idea was to give potential event organisers the chance to speak to the Scarborough delegates about bringing their events to the town.

Sandra Stephenson, conference marketing officer at the bureau, said: "During the exhibition, the bureau managed to generate several hot leads which will hopefully have a great impact on the town and bring new business for local hoteliers."
