Shameless Plugs!
Although we do not accept any 'paid for advertising', we do believe in giving people or organisations a bit of a boost if we believe that they deserve it. As a result, we have decided to include a page on this site for just that purpose.
We would be happy to hear of anyone that you think worthy of inclusion here but must insist that the final decision to publish rests with us.
There is no restriction on what you might suggest. For example, if a local trades person has provided service that you consider beyond norm, let us know. We reserve the right to check them out and if necessary to disagree!
Where a suggestion is made for inclusion, it will be attributed to the person making the referral.
Okay! Enough said! We are going to start the ball rolling!
Darryl Bill's English Butcher Shop, Peritheia, Thinali.
Tel: 26630 98497
Having witnessed how much time effort and money Darryl and Paula have put into opening their shop we think that they make an ideal first candidate for inclusion on this page. They carry an extensive range of fresh meat and will cut it to your exact requirements. Whilst you are there, we strongly recommend asking about their home made pies. They are not to be missed!
As well as being a first class butcher, Darryl is also an excellent grill chef. So, if you are considering that special barbecue for a number of friends whilst you are visiting Corfu and would like to devote all your time to enjoying youself and your friend's company, why not give Darryl a call.
What's Up On Corfu?
We are not going to give you too much of a preamble here. I am going to leave that to the 'What's Up Corfu?' team, Dick and Daniel. All we will say is that there has long been a need for timely information relating to local events in Corfu. Dick and Daniel have started the ball rolling and we, for two, will do whatever we can to assist them in what we consider to be a most worthwhile project. If you think you can assist, contact Dick and Daniel.
The following explains all in their own words with just a few amendments so that it is in context on this website!. Bob Giles.

=========================================================================
Dear Corfu resident, or regular visitor,
Any initiative taken on the isle of Corfu encounters a major challenge in communication. People may have something really interesting to offer, but how do they let everybody know? How often do we hear about a very interesting event ..... only after it has ended already? Which services and products can make life on Corfu easier, if we only knew of their existence?
There are websites with useful information but often in Greek only, which makes it less accessible to many of us. Besides, we would need to search frequently to stay properly informed.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get such useful information delivered via email?
The above summarises a discussion we (Dick Mulder & Daniel Blom) had when looking for ways to help promote an art exhibition that includes work from our respective spouses, and five other artists.
And so we decided to set up a new information service.
Our first challenge, of course, is communication! How do we make people aware of the new service? We face the very same communication problem we're trying to address.
In view of this, we would like to ask your permission for WhatsUp-Corfu to send information on events, services, and products, to your email address.
To receive regular event newsletters you can subscribe at WhatsUp-Corfu.com.
Organisations and individuals that want to use WhatsUp-Corfu to share information, can send this to event [dot] input [at] WhatsUp-Corfu [dot] com.
If you do not wish to receive further information send an empty email to unsubscribe [at] WhatsUp-Corfu [dot] com .
Information received from WhatsUp-Corfu may be forwarded or republished providing you mention WhatsUp-Corfu.com as the source, along with the original source (as stated with the information), and providing republished information is offered again free of charge.
Privacy Statement
WhatsUp-Corfu will not provide email addresses or other personal information to any other party.
Emails from news [at] WhatsUp-Corfu [dot] com never show email addresses of other recipients.
WhatsUp-Corfu only provides information that is particularly interesting to people that either live on, or regularly visit Corfu. There are no costs or obligations for the receiver. Commercial advertising is not facilitated, but objective information on services and products from commercial organisations may be included, providing it is directly or indirectly related to living on or visiting Corfu.
Kind regards,
The WhatsUp-Corfu Team
