I had an email last week from Godfrey & Victor at Baywatch shack.
They said that they are putting there application in at the moment.
There is then a lottery for licence.
If i remember correctly from what they said last year the shacks go up in late October.

Think your right there Chilly was about 3 rd week in November. If its a lottery again
this year any of the regular shacks may not even get a licence,there were a few very big names
that lost out last year.Lets just hope they sort the licences out a little earlier this year :tup

I'm afraid that the convenience of the tourists that arrive in early Nov has never weighed very heavily with the Goan Tourist Board. Year after year it's the same story. the nonsense of applications, lotteries and all the other carry ons they have, and as usual, as we all know, when the "draw", "lottery" or whatever is over, by some miracle all the lucky winners all appear at the same spot as last season, some lottery!!

Yea Colleen we spent the first three weeks in november without a shack,but they did give us 2 sunbeds and big thatched umbrella while they built the shack and served drinks from there house.

Much the same for us Split! The shack opened on 8th November but before that, they gave us sunbeds and got our favorite drinks in and we ate at the shack next door which had opened at the end of October.
As we are friends with both shack owners this wasn't a problem. You know how possessive of customers these shack owners can be!!! ;)
