Talk:Ventnor

message: The following cocerning the botanical gardens has been removed:
:In the nineteen-nineties, a peyote cactus in the hot house was stolen, allegedly by local youths after watching the film Young Guns.
The original editor said this is a local story (I entered "alledgedly").  Can it be verified for inclusion again, or is it an urban myth?

message: I removed the following reference to the Captain:
: ...a large and rundown building in the centre of town cells all kind of odd stock. It is run by a gentleman billing himself Captain Hockney. 
as it seemed slightly derogatory (calling his place run-down) and not particularly informative. But if anyone's got any more info on him, and why he's worthy of special mention in the article, then bring it on. Naturenet 13:40, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I removed the reference to Celebrate Ventnor Day. As far as I know it only happened once - maybe it will happen again, but it's hardly a major event at the moment. And what about the Smuggling Pageant? I've never heard of it. Anyone else? Naturenet 22:45, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, celebrate ventnor day has happend more than once now, to my knowledge, so I've put it back in. It appears to be a thing for locals more than tourists. It's possible that the smuggling pagaent no longer runs. It ran up to when I left in 1994. 62.3.233.9 01:34, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think either of them are running any more. I can find no reference to them anywhere on or offline, and nobody I know in Ventnor has heard of them. Plus an enquiry on iwight.com forums about Celebrate Ventnor Day brought no response. Can anyone provide any evidence that these events are real? If not, they're going.

replies: text: The Smuggling Pageant did exist and ran for a number of years, my grandmother (now deceased) was one of the organisers. I'm afraid I don't know too much about it as I was a disinterested teenager but my father was also involved (roped in) so he might know some more.
