The conference centre, in common with most of the others, will need a public subsidy to keep its head above water.
It hurt badly at first to lose my job but things have worked out reasonably well. I am keeping my head above water and that makes me one of the lucky ones.
As long as I earn enough to keep my head above water and to pay my way in life for the next twelve months, keep my family fed and watered, I'm OK.
