during the	year	Watch cover was provided on 356 days out of a potential 365 (9 days
		being dosed due to Christmas break and a shut down	for refurbishment
		ofthe building).
		Of a potential 1068watches we achieved 833meaning	that we provided
		watch cover for 78%ofthe available time.
		Although not opening for the Heritage Open days festival, with further
