1. FOR THE INTELLECTUAL MILLIONAIRE WHO HAS SEEN AND EXPE-
RIENCED EVERYTHING ELSE… NOW THERE IS CAMELOT CASTLE
For those who think they have seen and heard it all….think again.
Some say it is the stunning work of artist Ted Stourton that is caus-
ing the flow of private jets into Newquay airport. And it’s true that
the prices that Stourton is now getting for his paintings in the sec-
ondary market are the investment talk of the modern fine art world.
Collectors from Chelsea, London, Beverly Hills,
California, the Dutch collectors of grand masters
and even the most discerning Swiss collectors are
beating a path to his private studio. (And
Stourton’s studio without a doubt commands one
of the most stunning positions of any artist’s stu-
dio in the world.) Some say that it is the unique
location and natural beauty of Camelot Castle and
the history and the story that it foreshadows that
is captivating the imagination of the most refined
minds that the world has to offer. Some say it is the
exquisite cuisine, cooked by five star chefs flown in
from Dubai, experienced in a cliff top restaurant
overlooking the Atlantic with one of the most dra-
matic and finest views in all creation that has
these connoisseurs of life finding their way here.
But some are going still further and say-
ing that at Camelot lies a jewel, so unique, and that
at its heart lies a spiritual evolution and wisdom and a precise high-
er intelligence accessable to all, that many who have come here have
sensed and that some who journey here are indeed actively seeking.
The founder of the project Mr John Mappin explains it this
way “There are many types of people that come to Camelot Castle. The
type we love are completely genuine, they come in friendship and are
genuine seekers of beauty. Such people find Camelot fascinating, they
love the beauty of the place in all its forms and this type often has the
most incredible wins on arrival. As the project has evolved we have
become very fortunate and seem to be constantly surrounded by our
friends. It does make for a very warm and conducive atmosphere. I
am sure that this is part of what makes Camelot so unique”
“At this time we do have some unique abilities and truths at
Camelot Castle and we are able and are delighted to be able to dispel
many of the mysteries that have been plaguing mankind for centuries.
Mystery causes a great deal of stress and unhappi-
ness and so when these get cleared up for someone
they can indeed experience a tremendous amount of
relief.
It is quite priceless.”
It is little wonder then that in these days of celebri-
ty overload and myspace addiction, that simple
truths, the extraordinary natural beauty of
Tintagel, Cornwall and the expressions of artistic
beauty that flow from Mr Stourton’s canvasses
could be causing so much momentum and word of
mouth for Camelot Castle; and indeed are causing
not a few millionaires to alter the course of their
Gulfstream jets this summer, from Nice Airport
and the beaches of Monaco and StTropez, to expe-
rience an entirely different experience at Tintagel.
Without a doubt Camelot Castle is a completely unique
experience and until you have experienced it for yourself you will not
entirely understand it.
Fortunately all are welcome at Camelot and from £39 pounds per
night for a standard room the prices are of great comfort to the wal-
let of even the most discerning millionaire.

IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNA-
TIONAL ART world and across its
length and breadth there has never
been an artist quite like Ted Stourton.
Loved and adored by the thousands of
collectors who have been collecting his
art over the last few years at an
unprecedented rate, Stourton is not
only one of the world’s most loved
artists and one of the great personalities
of English society but his work is total-
ly outstanding.
Now feted in Hollywood and
Beverly Hills, in noble households in
Kazakhstan and Russia as well as the
finest homes in Europe it is likely that
there has never before been such grow-
ing interest in one artist’s output of fine
art. Stourton, who has made it his pol-
icy to welcome his collectors and
friends at his private home Camelot
Castle in England, is now inspiring
thousands of other artists across the
world in a roll out of the Stourton
brand that will certainly turn heads and
possibly raise a few of the more conser-
vative eyebrows among observers of the
art world. 2008 will see Stourton take
centre stage internationally and with
the output from his studios at Camelot
Castle more prestigious and prolific
than ever we may well witness some-
thing that we have never seen before.
Stourton as usual is quite
unphased by all the attention. “All my
friends are welcome at Camelot Castle
and if they delight in the work then I
am just as delighted as they are.”

WHY DO WE PRINT POSITIVE NEWS?
IT’S VERY SIMPLE. BECAUSE OF YOU.
WHAT IS VALIDATED in the society
increases and you get more of it. What is
invalidated you get less of. A society gets
what it puts its attention on.
Take a walk around your local com-
munity and ask yourself this simple ques-
tion. Is it an ideal scene?
At Independent Local Newspapers
Group we are dedicated to the creation
and maintaining of ideal scenes. Where
there is an ideal scene occurring we help
maintain it. Where a scene is not ideal we
help to put an ideal one there. We know
that ideal scenes are possible and we
strive to create them both in our busi-
nesses and in the environments in which
we operate.
Now, before you get any idea that
positive news is wishy washy news, low
impact, or news that does not count, think
again.
When we expose (as we have done)
the simple fact that thousands of children
across the UK are being incorrectly pre-
scribed drugs such as Ritalin and other
psychiatric drugs based on a false diagno-
sis of completely bogus made up disorders
(add/adhd) for which there is no scientific
proof whatsoever, by psychiatrists who
either have criminal intentions or who are
personally glib and have been wilfully
miseducated by drug companies, that’s
positive. You see, mothers, fathers and
honest concerned people can read about
things like this and start doing something
about it and as a result we then end up
with less kids on Ritalin who do better in
school and, eventually, less drug addicts
in your community.
Yes, there is a connection and it does
affect you.
And such truth ripples out through com-
munities through word of mouth, across
the internet and into people’s homes in
London and around the world.
So we really appreciate your support
of our Newspaper Group. Every reader,
every advertiser, and every ally in the
world that we have helps. All your good
intentions and actions towards us are
extremely valuable. We believe that what
we are doing is valuable. We mainly enjoy
and like to point out the positive good
people that are doing great things in the
community locally so if you do know
about anyone who is doing well and who
should be validated for their good actions
please take the time to write to me per-
sonally. We always try to do something
and I always reply to such letters person-
ally.
One more thing, we are interested to
meet and work with more journalists that
agree with the above purpose who would
like to work full or part time on really
positive high impact stories, journalists
that can and want to help us create and
maintain ideal scenes. Please write to me
at johnmappin@camelotcastle.com
You may also find it useful to take the
time to view our web sites

find that there are additional concepts and
products there that are valuable to you.

CAMELOT CASTLE...
RELAX
IT’S YOUR VERY OWN CASTLE...
FEEL AT HOME AMONG FRIENDS
WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY CAUSES US to experience true relaxation?
A change of environment? New Ideas? An ancient truth? Excellent
food? Fine art? The most dramatic coastline in Britain? Getting back
to the beauty of nature? A revitalised sense of purpose? A stunning
Historical environment? Tapping into one’s deepest creative
resources? Or just feeling at home among friends?
At Camelot Castle one experiences all that and more.
Standing on the Cornish headland by Tintagel, the Historical birth
place of King Arthur has come to life. Camelot Castle was trans-
formed a few years by Media Entrepreneurs John and Irina
Mappin and Ted Stourton into what has been one of the most stun-
ning places in the UK to visit.
As you walk by the sea and drink up the sea air you realise
that a visit here once in a while is the exact antidote for the busy
city life that many of us lead.
Dinner is served by an outstanding brigade of chefs that have
been flown in and recruited from the Jumeirah Group in Dubai.
Indeed so delicious are the menus at Camelot that the most stress-
ful decision of the weekend is deciding what not to have. The food
is English with an international theme and the deserts are com-
pletely irresistible. The Crème Brule that I had on my first evening
was one of the best ever.
Breakfast is both traditional and generous, served again by
graceful Peter the Maitre’d, in a style more expected in Gstaad that
on the Cornish Riviera (not surprising as the owners grew up in
the Palace hotel there).
The whole focus and ethos of this stunning hotel is designed
to invite you to explore new ways to relax and to regenerate your
creativity, that true essence of being that is the reason that we are
alive.
My room had the most sumptuous four poster bed and en suite
bathroom that was the size of most bedrooms complete with
Jacuzzi.
And what a view! A 270 degree view of the Atlantic ocean.
Tintagel has always held a wonderful significance for me, in
many ways it is the quintessence of England.
Now with the rebirth of Camelot Castle we will always have
that special home from home, a private getaway which allows me
to treasure the real me that I know and love.

Painting at Camelot Castle the
historical Birthplace of King
Arthur at Tintagel, the histor-
ical location that inspired
Tennyson, Turner and JD
Priestley, Stourton’s studios
could not be in a better place to
capture the beauty that has
become the hallmark of his
work.
Today Stourton unveiled
what will become a landmark
piece in a painting career dur-
ing which he has already pro-
duced and sold over 5000 orig-
inal works.
“THE SPIRIT OF
WESTMINSTER”
“I have always found that light
is one of the most engaging and
fascinating aspects of life”, said
Stourton. “It is interesting that
the soul is drawn towards light
but also that it radiates its own
light. The same is true of
Westminster.”
The painting is one of a
series of 20 new Stourton oils
presented on large canvases
currently exhibited at Camelot
Castle in Tintagel, Cornwall.

Stourton has long had an
open house policy at his studio.
Guests at Camelot Castle are
welcomed warmly in the seven
separate studios that have seen
some of the most prestigious
creative output of any artist in
the last two hundred years.
Camelot Castle itself has
become a haven for art collec-
tors who having discovered
Ted Stourton’s art also find
they have found friendship and
that very special light.

OUR STORY, my dear readers, sees us back
in time, a time perhaps many would care to
forget and a few adventurous souls might
care to remember.
On a bleak snowy day in 1788, Paris,
France outside the Bastille to be precise. A
day when the sky was so grey and the
ground so white, that any meeting place
between the two is only afforded by a
moment of clear weather which comes with
the turning of the wind. The chill in the air
matches the lonely bare ground and that at
best offers up silence with angular shapes to
comfort the constant pain of hunger that
hangs like the foretold death of a child. Not
far off the North West turret, a single pair of
ravens circle in the air, a silhouette against
the melting snow which covers this unyield-
ing and blighted landscape.
Our two characters have been impris-
oned for five years inside the Parisian hell
they called the Bastille. This site had previ-
ously been a swamp. In the dank bowels of
this once princely fortress had been held the
treasures of the mighty Kings of France
along with Nobles, of whom it is said, that
if at the late hour of alcoholic murmur had
merely a thought of Royal discontent, would
awaken to their horror, imprisoned, on the
other side of this unforgiving Rubicon.
This paradox of regal delight and a
dilemma posing as an equally delicious
source of scandal and rumor mongering,
was in its part, the very oil needed for the
smoother running of the otherwise deadly
dull and unproductive life at court.
However, over the last few years the
Bastille had fallen into dilapidation and dis-
repute which had matched the royal pittance
of a grant long since diverted by the gaoler
before its arrival at the squalid gates. So,
somewhere between the snow falling, the
gaoler sleeping and France on the brink of
starvation, we find our characters entombed
in the granite mausoleum they called the
Bastille.
Now, it so happened, that it was the cus-
tom that each day at noon that some pris-
oners were allowed from their cells to walk
a certain large passage that stretched from
one long side to the other. Off this corridor
there was a sequence of cells holding pris-
oners who had committed high treason and
had been in solitary confinement for so long
that no one had ever had site of them. It had
been a punishable offence to try and speak
with them but over the years the guards had
become more and more discontented and
lazy to the point where every day for nearly
eighteen months the young poet had been
able to sit down outside the cast iron door
for the hour to converse with the painter.
Each day the poet would sit and listen to
the painter, encouraging him to give tell of
the view from his window, for none of the
other cells in that cell block had an outside
facing window. The only site afforded to
them was of the courtyard in the centre of
the Prison below. The painter would
describe the weather each day, with sun on
the moat below framing the ducks and the
geese, children playing with their dogs or
singing an array of songs. The painter went
to great lengths to describe the colours of the
ladies and gentlemen’s dress, the walking
sticks and, once a month, the passing circus
that crossed the river Seine for the centre of
Paris. The circus animals were often new
and exotic. Market days were particularly
interesting to the poet, for twice a week, all
the farmers with their cattle, crops, geese
and sheep would be described in minute
detail, with the abstract air of the painters
prose.
Over the months their friendship and
bond had grown to the point where the
painter felt comfortable in enquiring of the
poet the true reason for his incarceration.
That day, much like any other, the painter
asked the poet why he was in prison, to
which he replied that he had written some-
thing that the Queen had found a little
direct. The poet then asked the painter how
he had managed to end up in that situation
to which the painter responded that he had
painted the King in a way that he saw him,
which the King had found insulting, he had
ordered the canvas to be destroyed and the
painter sent to prison.
The following day at the usual time the
poet sat outside the cell door and quietly
called for his friend. There was however no
reply. The poet wandered slowly over to the
gaoler’s guard and asked him who was in
the cell. The guard responded that a pardon
had come through the previous evening and
that now no one was there. The poet was
shocked, and as he caught his breath, com-
manded that if he were to continue writing
the gaoler’s letters to his mistress he would
personally wish to see that the cell was
indeed empty for himself. Whereupon, the
guard, without hesitation lifted up his bunch
of keys and escorted the poet to the cell. He
then placed the key into the top and bottom
locks and with a mighty push opened the
cast iron door.
It was indeed empty.
The poet stepped into the cell and look-
ing and the four plain stone walls... gasped...
for there was no window.
The Bastille fell a few months later giving
freedom to all.
The poets name was Francois-Marie
Arouet.
Some now know him as the great writer
Voltaire.
THE POET AND THE PAINTER.
A TALEby Ted Stourton
IS THIS ONE MAN GOING TO ECLIPSE ALL
THE BUSINESS MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS IN
U.S HISTORY?
Dale Carnegie had it good for a while, Tony
Robbins even had us walking on fire, but
absolutely nothing can prepare you for the
delivery of Grant Cardone when his fresh
concepts and ideas impact your business and
translate into the bottom line expansion and
permanent motivation that begin on the
inside and continue to grow long after the
seminars are over and the hot bath hype has
cooled.
One indicator that one immediately
notices and that makes Grant Cardone’s
advice and products so very different is that
he is probably the first U.S motivational
speaker to be fully exportable worldwide. It
is worth noting that some of the strongest
interest for Mr. Cardone’s products is coming
from international and overseas corporations
in Europe where other traditionally
“American Style” motivational speakers have
usually been politely ridiculed or sidelined.
So what is it that sets Grant Cardone
apart from his predecessors and why is
Europe interested? Having studied the
Cardone products and his delivery, it
becomes immediately evident that he stands
head and shoulders above every other moti-
vational speaker and business consultant/
coach.
1) He is the first to actually challenge much
of what has been taught by the “gurus” for
years. Mr. Cardone quite convincingly sug-
gests that what has been taught over the
years may in part actually be the contribut-
ing factor to low levels of production. "It is
my belief that much of what has been
taught for years to sales people (as one
example) is not only not desirable to cus-
tomers in the 21st Century but is one of the
main reasons industries dependent upon
sales people have so much staff turnover.
The idea of answering questions with ques-
tions and other attempts at control and
manipulation do not work for either seller or
buyer."
2) Mr. Cardone's business approaches are
based on research targeted towards what
people truly want today, not just what may
sound good from the stage or what was con-
sidered “truth” and has been passed down
through the ages! “Times have changed,
people have become more informed, have
more choices and the company’s efforts must
change with the times,” says Mr. Cardone.
3) In addition to what Mr. Cardone teaches
being very practical, simple and applicable
to today's company and customer demands,
Grant Cardone actually walks the walk of his
talk and is able to validate the workability of
what he teaches in today’s marketplace.
Who you see on stage is exactly who you
will see off the stage, at his home, in his
marriage, and at his companies. Unlike
many of today’s motivational gurus he
applies his own advice to build real busi-
nesses in the real world of business.
“Attaining success is not a “secret” the way
some would suggest in order to sell their solu-
tions. Success depends on actions and
approaches that are based on truth, integrity
and simplicity that others are able to dupli-
cate and consumers will trust enough to
exchange money and things of value for. You
don’t add more mystery to a person’s life or
business in order to make their life and their
business better.”
Any talking that he does is incidental to
the walking and it is clear to any observer
that it is through his actions that he contin-
ues to expand and survive. By simply dupli-
cating or copying those actions one is able to
rise to the heights of success that many,
prior to Cardone’s trainings have only been
able to dream of.
Grant Cardone has factually been speak-
ing to audiences for over twenty years about
how to improve themselves, their businesses
and their practices. He has been studying
and researching sales, success and business
for most of his life.
While hundreds of thousands of people
from varying industries and walks of life
have attended his seminars and bought his
products just as many have implemented his
approaches and business philosophies to
improve their lives, their incomes and their
businesses. It is not his words that people
are repeating and duplicating, but rather his
simple actions.
And those actions are translating and
will translate into the building of some of the
biggest business empires on Earth.
So it is hardly surprising that in certain
banking and finance circles across Europe,
Grant Cardone is being heralded as the men-
tor to Europe’s future Billionaires and is
becoming quickly recognized as the shaper
of Empires that would make the leviathan
miss a beat.
Extraordinary insight, including the
willingness to observe the existing scene and
be willing to change with the times regard-
less of mass public opinion, are the prereq-
uisites to making correct decisions. Grant is
educating the best of the best in how exact-
ly to enhance their perceptions and thus
their insight.
His ability is highlighted not just in his
capacity to give advice but also in the assess-
ment of real situations such as:
• Mr. Cardone correctly went to cash prior to
the 1987 bust.
• He went to cash again prior to the internet
bust in the US and repeatedly forewarned his
seminar attendees.
• He started buying real estate in the early
1990’s when California real estate was a
despised asset of even the rich which proved
to be stellar timing.
• Within eight years, contrary to public opin-
ion, he sold his California portfolio as the
condo boom heated up due to what he cor-
rectly predicted as today’s overbuilt market.
He bought two thousand apartments in
Tucson, Arizona just after 2001 and recently
sold that entire portfolio just prior to the
recent pull back.
“Each of these events were so obvious to me.
One could just look at the truth and disregard
the decisions of masses of people. The reality
of what has caused today’s real estate situa-
tion and sub-prime problem has yet to be
fully acknowledged.”
Mr. Cardone’s fiscal advice and analysis
in the real estate markets is being heeded as
far away as the oil rich CIS State of
Kazakhstan, where Grant’s astute observa-
tion and troubleshooting analysis of the Sub
Prime fiasco in the U.S has found relevance.
Mr. Cardone’s recent comments caught the
attention of a primary opinion leader to
Kazakhstan’s Government Ministers who are
currently combating a similar fiscal crisis
and integrity collapse in their own building
markets.
While Mr. Cardone is a self-made suc-
cess story, his life has not always been so
clear cut and positive. At the age of nine he
lost his father and ten years later lost his
older brother both of whom were his role
models. By the age of 19 he had developed a
terrible drug habit that he almost died from
but would finally kick at the age of 25. At
this critical point in his life he directed all
his energy and efforts into turning his life
around and creating a career for himself.
His first real commitment to success was
as an automobile salesman at the age of
twenty five when he started keeping records
of every customer interaction. He even went
as far as using audio recordings of phone
calls and videotaping customers to find out
what buyers really wanted and what
approaches were most effective.
After compiling thousands of records,
he then formulated a new way of handling
people that was more customer friendly,
more informative and would quickly prove
more effective! Within twelve months Grant
Cardone had reached the top 1% of all auto-
motive sales in the US!
He didn't know it then but his
approaches, later to be trademarked as
Information Assisted Selling (TM), have rev-
olutionized automotive sales approaches and
literally changed the auto industry. His
research and efforts initiated processes and
technology that are today considered more
customer friendly, shorten the sales cycle
and reduce the effort it takes to purchase an
automobile. "It was obvious to me that what-
ever was being taught in this industry was
actually counter productive and the ultimate
reason why the production levels industry-
wide were so unacceptable. While many
blamed the workforce I found that the real
cause of the lack of production was the actu-
al approaches that were being promoted by
the industry “experts”“.
His new methods and approaches have
since been adopted across the board in many
varied sales industries as well as exported to
Brazil, Australia and Europe! Companies
and industries all over the world are now
being introduced to and using Grant's pio-
neering developments and contributions.
Grant Cardone has since become a
highly acclaimed international Sales and
Motivational Speaker travelling the globe
speaking to business leaders and individuals
on topics from sales, motivation, real estate,
personal finance and business at as many as
two hundred engagements a year. He is the
CEO of three very active businesses and his
real estate portfolio now exceeds
$120,000,000. In addition to an already very
full schedule, Grant has been a guest on
more than one hundred radio and television
interviews appearing on the Today Show,
Hollywood Access, and MSNBC.
He is recently completed his first book,
“Sell or Be Sold” which is waiting to be pub-
lished. And he is currently working on his
second book, "Breaking Out From the
Middle Class". Grant presently lives in Los
Angeles, California with his beautiful wife
Elena Lyons-Cardone, a successful actress.
Together they acquired and transformed
Lionel Richie’s house in the Hollywood Hills
which, according to Victoria Beckham, was
the nicest house she viewed while house
hunting in LA.
If Grant’s personal $120m fortune has
not hit the Ten Billion $US mark in the next
five years as a result of the actions that Grant
is currently engaged upon there will be more
than one observer of the financial markets
that would be surprised.
Grant Cardone is factually the first U.S
motivational speaker to be taken deadly seri-
ously at the very top and the highest intelli-
gence levels of the European finance mar-
kets. That fact alone speaks volumes. In fact,
a few moments ago, as I just replaced the
receiver to confirm a reservation at the
Palace Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland my
thoughts quite naturally alighted on the
questions that I might be asked next week by
those so very conservative Swiss Alp bound
bankers and financiers who have, on the
grapevine, heard of our friendship and inside
knowledge of Mr. Cardone’s work and who
are extremely keen to dip into the metaphor-
ical fondue that is bubbling.
Not that the Swiss or European Fund
Managers like making more money particu-
larly.

IF EARLY REPORTS FROM THE BIGGEST
music market in the world are true, then
planet Earth is about to experience the
Won-G effect. In London, where Won-G is
structuring deals with entertainment lead-
ers, people are now asking: Who is Won-G
and where does he come from? The Won-G
story is fascinating.
Few MCs can claim the accomplish-
ments of Won-G, “The Haiti Boy.” Talented,
charismatic and personable, he was born in
Port Au Prince, Haiti, on August 29th
1978. He spent his early years between
Brooklyn and Los Angeles and was no
stranger to hard work, since his dad owned
and operated a fleet of trucks in the con-
struction and paving business. The second
oldest of twelve children (six boys and six
girls), Won-G was raised in a tight-knit
family structure and considers his business
an “independent family business.” His older
brother, Dubble-M, produced the majority
of Won-G's music, and his father, Macneal,
plays a critical role in all of his business
ventures. “Pops is like – everything: our
manager, guide, and spiritual consultant,”
exclaims Won-G. “In fact, our military-style
upbringing instilled in me the discipline I
needed to make my mark on the streets.”
Won-G’s 12-year music career, during
which he's released five independent
albums, has culminated in Real Sovage
Music, LLC, his first non-underground
label. Won-G's previous releases are:
Shadow of the Rains (1993), Do It, Do It,
Won-G (1995), Royal Impression
(2000), No Better Than This
(2001), and Explosion (2002). He's worked
with a wide variety of musical talent,
including rappers Bone Thugs-N-
Harmony, Da Brat, and Tupac’s Outlawz;
as well as world-renowned producers Ric
Wake, DJ Quik, Johnny J, and L.T.
Hutton. He has featured pin-up beauties
(who are also personal friends) such as
Carmen Electra, Traci Bingham and Paris
Hilton in his videos.
With the release of his latest album,
“Rage of the Age,” which has already pro-
duced a hit single and video “Caught Up in
the Rapture,” Won-G is poised to bolster
his street credibility to the national level.
Paying homage to the seminal 1980
Blondie hit “Rapture,” this Hip-Hop ver-
sion of the Blondie classic has been down-
loaded over 600,000 times within the first
month after its release on AOL’s music serv-
ice. The hardcore, pulsating “Blind Man”
and the Caribbean-inspired “I'm A
Haitian” address prejudice against Haitians
at home and abroad, while offering some of
the historical accomplishments of his
beloved homeland, Haiti, the world's first
Black Republic in 1804.
Won-G's impressive ability to rap and
rhyme in four languages (English, French,
Creole and Spanish) sets him apart from
other hip-hop artists and creates fantastic
opportunities in international markets. In
fact, Won-G and his special blend of Hip-
Hop/R&B was presented to the world in
January at MIDEM 2007 in Cannes, France.
Real Sovage Music will make
available, for the first time, a
CD reflecting Won-G’s best
work, as well as two profes-
sionally created videos,
“Nothing’s Wrong” with
Traci Bingham, and
“Caught Up In The Rapture”
with Paris Hilton and Gizelle
D’Cole. The CD will also con-
tain club versions, and will be
ready for release this Spring.
Although he could have
capitalized on his friendship
with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg,
and several other notable hip-
hop artists, Won-G has always
been determined to make it on
his own terms. “’Rage of the
Age’ is my first major release as
far as national MTV, BET and
commercial play are concerned.
Even though we have a pop
crossover record for the masses,
we're still keeping the streets on
lock. I try to stay as close to the
Haitian community as possible
because, first and foremost, they are
my people and they have shown me
incredible support over the years. I’ve
built my own fan base by utilizing
independent distributors and street
teams, consisting mostly of imme-
diate and extended family. My
underground following has been
most prevalent in Miami, New
York, Boston, Little Haiti, Jamaica, Dallas,
Houston, New Orleans and, of course, Cali.
So, with the mass street credibility that I
have achieved over the last ten years, the
next step is to get great national and inter-
national distribution deals,” exclaims the
H a i t i a n - b o r n
rapper/tycoon.
Won-G is currently
in the studio working on
his new album, “Prince of
the City.” While this
album will feature Lionel
Ritchie, Snoop Dogg, 50
Cent, T.I., Nelly, George
Clinton, and several other
big names like Fat Joe and
Jadakiss, future releases
will feature some of our
old-school megastars like
Patti Labelle, Smokey
Robinson, and Stevie
Wonder.
In addition to his
musical efforts, Won-G is
extremely active in his community.
Presently Won-G is serving as Haiti's
Ambassador of Good Will for Children
and as spokesperson for YAPI (Youth
Advocate Program International). The
Haiti Boy has a long history of supporting
charitable causes, such as RADD
(Recording Artists, Actors, & Athletes
Against Drunk Driving), Priscilla Presley's
Dream Foundation, and Malibu's Bony
Pony Ranch, which is dedicated to the
rehabilitation of underprivileged children
and at-risk youth.
From the days of slingin’ CDs on the
streets to cruising in his Rolls Royce
Phantom, Won-G has always kept it real.
Being subject to nei-
ther drink nor smoke,
Won-G has done
numerous “Anti-
Drug/Stay-In-School
Tours” throughout the
country and is an
excellent role model
for our youth. Always
sympathetic to the less
fortunate in life, The
Haiti Boy never hesi-
tates to say a kind
word to any person
who may cross his
path.
"There are so
many rebellious kids
out there and they
need to have opportu-
nities to channel their energy in constructive
ways," says Won-G. "That's why I named
my album ‘Rage of the Age.’ I want to use
my music and my life to show our young
people that ‘you can make a difference and
make the world a better place.’ I was able to
follow my dream and get to where I am in
life because I had people who believed in me.
I want the kids out there to know that they
can accomplish everything I have and
more!"
Being subject to
neither drink nor
smoke, Won-G has
done numerous
“Anti-Drug/Stay-In-
School Tours”
throughout the
country and is an
excellent role
model for our
youth.

TAKING THE URBAN MARKETS BY STORM
Won-G
AMERICAN POLITCIANS and our media are not
necessarily the best representation for true amer-
icans and in recent months have contributed to
creating a global picture of America that is both
inaccurate and destructive to the future .
It goes without saying for many that the
U.S President is not the average American man,
any more than Paris Hilton is not the average
American young girl.
But at times that is what our media would
have us believe. And, it is quite amazing the
degree that public opinion towards America has
been harmed over the past few years.
In these times of rising anti-Americanism
in Europe and in other parts of the world it is
very important that we do not forget exactly why
it is that the good works of many have blessed
America.
I was personally fortunate enough to live in
the United States for six years and during that
time I had the good fortune and honour to meet
many people from all over the United States.
Some of those friendships have become some of
the most cherished and valued in our life.
I could not have hoped, on the whole, to
have met a kinder and more generous group of
souls during the time we spent there, and it is fair
to say that living in America, meeting and getting
to know Americans and learning their values and
ideas gave me back my hope in humanity. And
directly as a result of that hope we now have
been able, at CAMELOT CASTLE, to forward that
hope to thousands of other people.
(www.camelotcastle.com)
We should remember that America was
founded by those determined to escape and
oppose religious persecution in Europe and the
founding fathers set in stone a declaration of
Independence, a Constitution and a Bill of Rights
that between them represent some of the most
valuable documents ever written on behalf of
mankind to help mankind and to secure
mankind’s freedom.
It is quite fitting that the hope and wonder-
fully positive feeling that people find here today
at Camelot Castle were in part catalysed by the
American values, hope and basic goodness that I
ran into with Americans of all types when I lived
there.
The romantic in me would like to think that
this was the same hope that was carried to
America on the Mayflower from these British
shores in the first place. And, igniting life and
lives in the Americas, was the same hope that
carried on in the hearts and minds of the men
and women who forged a great nation now
known as the United States of America.
Whatever the truth is or from wherever that
hope “sprung” it was unmistakable when I
encountered it in the United States in 1991.
In America the idea that “ANYTHING IS POSSI-
BLE” is known and understood and sits at the
core of the entire country’s existence.
And, it is because of that innate understanding of
freedom, anything is indeed possible.
For those people who have existed in soci-
eties or areas where this idea has been sup-
pressed or knocked out, it is sometime hard to
really understand the USA and the people’s opti-
mism but when one experiences this understand-
ing for oneself it is quite priceless and unmistak-
able.
A man’s dreams are sacred and when a
man is allowed of given a free space to dream
very often those dreams will come into reality. In
America one is invited to dream, indeed one is
invited to dream big!
It is traditional in acknowledging America
to roll out the stars and the well known figures of
the day but today I want to invite you to think
about and bless the real treasure of America.
ITS ORDINARY PEOPLE.
For the real value of the United States lies in its
ordinary families, the men, women and children
that form the vast majority of its people.
They are often not the flag wavers or the
egg throwers but they live their lives in the sin-
cere service of others and while they are often
silent they are indeed the true standard of the
American nation.
In short they are quite wonderful people.
If you know such a person please do for-
ward this on to them. And please send their
details to us and let us know exactly why they
are wonderful and why you appreciate them. In
return we will be sending each and every one of
them a prize direct from Camelot Castle,
England.
We think it’s important to validate and acknowl-
edge those people.
And, we think it’s our duty to do so.
True Americans who have kept and keep the
Right to Dream alive.
Please visit us soon and do say hello at
www.camelotcastle.com
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
WHY THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD INDEED BLESS AMERICA AND
Thank the American People

OUR NEWSPAPER GROUP IS REPORTED
BY MEDIA WEEK:
If human rights include freedom
from brutality and cruel, inhuman
or degrading treatment, then there
is no doubt that contemporary psy-
chiatry’s major “treatment” fixa-
tions are human rights abuses.
While billions in taxes are paid
each year to fight the “War on
Drugs,” there is a different kind of
war affecting the world today, one
that is perpetuated by
psychiatrists dreaming
up new “mental illness-
es” to fund a multi-
billion-pound
legal drug
industry. In
2005, over 1/2
million psychi-
atric drug pre-
scriptions for
s o - c a l l e d
‘hyperactive’
children were
dished out at a
cost of over
£24million to
the taxpayer,
drugs whose side effects
include visual hallucina-
tions, suicidal thoughts, psychotic
behaviour as well as aggression and
violent behaviour.
And over 29 million prescriptions
for antidepressant drugs were hand-
ed out at a cost of over £338million,
drugs whose side effects include
suicide, mania, psychosis, aggres-
sion and hostility.
Then there is the bar-
baric electroconvul-
sive therapy (ECT), a
barbaric excuse for
so-called ‘treatment’
that psychiatrists
have deceptively
cloaked in medical
legitimacy. Physically
intrusive, and dam-
aging, it violates the
doctor’s pledge to
uphold the
Hippocratic Oath and
“Do no harm.”
While we don’t
always question diagnoses, and
while we place our trust in medical
doctors who can and do provide
empirical evidence, such standards
are non-existent when it comes to
psychiatry.
As presented in countless illus-
trations in psychiatric and medical
journals, the brain has been dissect-
ed, its parts labelled and analysed,
while the public has been assaulted
with the latest psychiatric theories
of how the physical and chemical
composition of the brain deter-
mines behaviour, mental disorders,
or disabilities.
What is missing in all of this is
scientific fact.
PSYCHIATRY: AN INDUSTRY OF
DEATH lifts the lid on the psychi-
atric falsehoods that have permeat-
ed the society.

Newspaper Group is making avail-
able a free copy of this important

1 The Number One Place in The
Sun
Irresistible beaches, incredible
hotels, brillianf food and a wealth
of local culture make Dubai the
best place to own a home.
2 Freehold Ownership
You can own your home outright.
Freehold guarantees given by devel-
opers Nakheel, Emaar and
Estithamaar are endorsed by the
Dubai Government and exist in
contract. Thousands of foreign
home-buyers and investors have
flocked to buy freehold property in
this, the most lucrative real estate
market on earth, as a result.
3 Free From Tax
There is no personal taxation or
property taxation. Fees for property
transfer and maintenance are low.
4 Stability And Growth
Dubai is one of the fastest growing
business destinations on earth. The
economy grew by an annual aver-
age 8.6% during the last eight
years. It is expected to grow at a
similar rate for the next five years.
5 Stable Context
Dubai doesnt operate in a vaccum.
The economy of the United Arab
Emirates as a whole has grown-
and is projected to grow at an aver-
age rate of 5% per annum, in com-
parison to a world growth rate of
2.8%.
6 Beautiful Homes
Would David Beckham and other
rich sun-seekers settle for anything
less than a beautiful home?
England's soccer stars were among
the first to buy on dubai's The
Palm, Jumeirah, Luminaries all the
way from the US to India are buy-
ing in their wake. With specialist
finishes the norm, you too can get
the home of your dreams.
7 Rentable
With extraordinary numbers of
tourists visiting Dubai year on year
(2.54 million hotel guests in 1998,
4.98 million in 2003) rents are like-
ly to remain buoyant well into the
future. Major population expansion
from the increase in expatriates liv-
ing in Dubai will ensure demand
for rental accommodation remains
lively- with yields currently at
around an 8% yield.
8 Great Deals
Average villa property prices in
Dubai are five times cheaper per
square metre than London's
Docklands area, ten times cheaper
than Central London, and half the
cost of Singapore.
9 Sellable
Oversupply? What oversupply?
With an estimated shortfall of
40,000 units within the next five
years, leaving an estimated 150,000
new residents without the possibil-
ity of buying Dubai property prices
should remain an excellent invest-
ment opportunity in the longer
term.
10 Livable
Great City Living- Dubai's tax-free,
liberal atmosphere combines with
year-round sun and excellent busi-
ness opportunities to make it a
wonderful place to live for expatri-
ates.

Flitty’s Purposes
Up on a cloud and far away,
There sits ‘Flitty’ on a Summers Day.
What does it do? No one quite knows,
It actually quite likes to wiggle its toes.
It likes to take a look, at this and that,
And wonder where everybody’s at.
Once in a while it will wander over,
And Sniff the Kiss of a Bee on clover.
But should the Bee become aware,
Of Flitty’s gaze and helpful stare,
Or try to see young Flitty’s face,
Bang! - Flitty was never there in the first place.
And that doesn’t mean that Flitty’s shy,
But if you have ever wondered why
The tick goes tock or the tock goes tick,
It’s just another Flitty trick.
Some go for Gold and dig in the ground.
Not Flitty, It moves Thought around.
And not your naughty stinky thought,
Just what Flitty likes, or what it feels it ought.
It flits over this and hovers over that,
Who knows, Flitty might be sitting under your hat.
When you think that Flitty’s gone, or was never there,
It’s then that Flitty will give you a scare.
So what is this purpose of this ditty?
Or indeed are the purposes of our Flitty?
The answer to that lies somewhere in the middle
Of this ‘Flitty de Flit’ or perky riddle.
So riddle me this or riddle me that,
But just take a peek under Your hat.

Flitty’s Twinkle
Is this the twinkle of our “Flitty”,
Famed of fable and of ditty?
It seems that Flitty’s been to sleep,
But now has woken to help and heap
Upon all those whom fortune favours,
Wealth surpassing all the neighbours.
Freedoms scarce imagined come
To those upholding Freedoms won.
So like the Raven in the sky,
If YOU have ever wondered if
The wind is free upon the cliff,
Or if light is that free too.
Recognise this…
All the beauty and freedom that is true,
Resides in YOU!

THE PURPOSE OF
CAMELOT CASTLE
Our purpose in creating Camelot Castle is to have a place where anyone who agrees that life can be enhanced by
natural beauty and art can come and experience that enhancement immediately and first hand.
Camelot has the purpose to provide a unique space where people can come to share both in the extraordinary natu-
ral beauty of our environment and in the extraordinary strength created when people of goodwill share their ideas and
vision.
In c.800 A.D. Harrun Al Rachid, the supreme ruler of Baghdad, governed and administrated the entire Arab world.
At that time, Harrun Al Rachid, the conceptual architect of the first “Golden Age”, passed a law. That law stated, that
every Thursday, every Master of every intellectual or physical discipline, be it Mathematics, Architecture, Religious,
Political, or Creative must attend court and Al Rachid stated that, by law, they should and must share their ideas. This
one act caused a ripple of innovation and new ideas that spread across the Arabic world and Mesopotamian culture
up through Spain and half of Europe. Indeed, ideas that occurred then are still visible today across the civilised world.
What was only known by a handful of people until today was the fact that Harrun Al Rachid also issued every law and
every order to his empire using Formal Arabic Poetry.
As early as 800 A.D. Harrun Al Rachid had isolated the power of the use of aesthetics and beauty in carrying a mes-
sage across thousands of miles and great distances.
For this reason, the poets and artists of Baghdad were some of the greatest that the world has ever known. The Arabian
Nights were written in his honour and Harrun is immortalized in them. Harrun Al Rachid was probably one of the great-
est champions of creativity that the world has ever seen.
There are two other well known non-religious occasions in recent history, when men have risen to this extraordinary
level of responsibility and wisdom. The first was the formation of the Round Table at the Court of Arthur Pendragon on
the advice of Merlin, which cracked the suppression of the Dark Ages across Europe. The other was the structure and
codification of the American Constitution by the Founding Fathers.
The Founders of Camelot have been able to research deeper into the wisdoms of the East than ever before. They
have been able to draw on the modern and workable wisdom embodied in the freedoms established and maintained
by the United States. And, through unique access and friendships in the Middle East the Founders have isolated some
previously unguessed at importances, heralded by Arabic culture, that will affect the entire future of mankind.
So when you visit us at Camelot and share your ideas here at our Round Table realise that you are being and becom-
ing part of a purpose line that is indeed both ancient and of the future. For these purposes are woven through the very
fabric and the structure of our societies.
They are the weft and warp of creativity.
Truthfully, there has never been a time in the world when the sharing of ideas across the world is more important than
right here right now.
The importance of our artists to our society has been grossly underestimated and it is time that we began to value the
contribution that our own creativity can make.
Camelot is here today so that you can experience, tap into and be your creativity.
Even the greatest barriers surrender to the creativity of man.
Our purpose is for you to create yourself and thus, to enhance all life.

Hi it's Ted here:
I am working on a new artistic project
and a new series of creations this week
that I would really and sincerely appre-
ciate your help with.
PLEASE TRY THIS CHALLENGE:
“With a friend or partner take a walk
(anywhere but preferably some-
where new) and on that walk take a
notebook and spot and make a note
of a few things in your environment
that are NOT in any way threatening
to you."
“Take a good look around and find and
list several things that are unthreaten-
ing in you environment.”
"Do this until you feel good."
"As you do your walk together, if any of
those things that you spot make you
laugh or happy or if you experience an
emotion of any kind, when you spot
them, please do make a special note of
them."
When you get back from the walk do
write a short description of what
occurred and send it to me and let me
know exactly what happened for you at
tedstourton@camelotcastle.com
ALSO
FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TRY THIS:
TRY NOT READING OR EXPOSING
YOURSELF AND OTHERS TO ANY
NEGATIVE MEDIA OR NEWSPA-
PERS AND DON’T WATCH ANY
NEGATIVE NEWS AT ALL.
You may be most interested in exactly
how and why this changes your luck in
life for the better! It is quite fascinat-
ing.
If you have or experience wins or suc-
cess with this do write to me and let me
know what happens and if you like I
will let you know about some other
great actions that you can take immedi-
ately to improve your luck.
Anyway let me know how it goes and
we hope to see you soon at Camelot
Castle. It's quite gloriously stunning
here at this time of the year.
All my love
Ted Stourton
PLEASE HELP US OUT WITH
THIS CREATIVE PROJECT:
The Camelot Castle Hotel at Tintagel
has been transformed and the moment
you enter this magnificent building
you can feel Camelot's influence. The
Hotel itself is a stunning building in
its own right, but the transformation
within lies at the heart of this unique
location. John and Irina Mappin
together with Ted Stourton, have
pulled out all the stops to provide
guests with an experience that you
will definitely remember.
When we chose to dine at Irina's
Restaurant, it was a still and balmy,
early June evening. The sky was
ablaze with a fiery sun that was slow-
ly setting over the Ocean, a plus, as
the dining room itself is a magnificent
space with stunning views of King
Arthur's Castle and the North
Cornwall coast from every window.
On entering the dining room, my
companion and I were greeted and
seated by attentive and courteous staff
who were always on hand but not
obtrusive. The high ceilings, chande-
liers, comfortable chairs and a
European flavour to the decor, make
the space elegant but homely.
The food was very well presented
and very good value for money, in
fact the prices, which start from
£19.95, do not reflect the sumptuous-
ness of the food or the surroundings.
I can highly recommend the
Swordfish, cooked to perfection and
very filling. The head chef hails from
international hotels of Dubai. He and
his 5 star team of chefs bring a
Mediterranean feel and flavour to
familiar food that is both fresh and
exciting.
My prediction is that Irina's
Restaurant at Camelot Castle may
soon be the number 1 destination for
food lovers.

THE WALLS OF CAMELOT CASTLE this spring and
summer will be adorned with paintings that some
are calling the most priceless expression of beauty
ever to have been created by an artist in the last
500 years.
And, while the prices of Stourtons contin-
ue to rise in the secondary market and fortunes
will doubtless be made by some who are cashing
in on the Stourton phenomenon and beginning to
stock his work, Stourton remains completely unaf-
fected by the clamour and glamorous admirers that
continue to seek his work out from all over the
world.
Indeed the local Newquay airport is get-
ting quite used to the roar of Gulfstream jet
engines as Stourton’s private collectors arrive
from the far flung corners of the globe.
To try to describe the beauty of Stourton’s
abstract realism in these works is a challenge that
I will not attempt here as I simply cannot do it jus-
tice. However what I can tell you is that art critics
from around the world have nearly unanimously
acknowledged that beauty such as this has not
been created and viewed since
the time that Claude Monet
dressed his salon in Paris; nor
has the excitement that is brew-
ing in the art world been so
great concerning the production
of an artist since Picasso was
creating in his prime.
Each day Stourton can
be found in his subterranean
studios at Camelot Castle and
each day a team of production assistants and
craftsmen work on an intense schedule to simply
keep up with the extraordinary creative flow and
output that emanates from this one being, whose
destiny it seems is to raise the bar on beauty that
each being experiences as they come into contact
with his work.
“What a view” as one collector described,
“to see all the wonders of paradise and beyond,
through the work”.
Stourton’s recent master piece dominates
the Great Hall at Camelot Castle. A colour-
ful joy to behold, it is a representation and
celebration of the circle of life and both the
perfections and imperfections of the friend-
ships therein.
The positive lift that Stourton is creating
for the British and international art world
and its economics will be felt for many
years to come by fellow artists and the auction
houses. The Stourton Spring and Summer
Collection can be viewed at Camelot Castle at
Tintagel, Cornwall.

CAMELOT CASTLE...RELAX
IT’S YOUR VERY OWN CASTLE... FEEL AT HOME AMONG FRIENDS
WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY CAUSES US to experience true relaxation?
A change of environment? New Ideas? An ancient truth? Excellent
food? Fine art? The most dramatic coastline in Britain? Getting back
to the beauty of nature? A revitalised sense of purpose? A stunning
Historical environment? Tapping into one’s deepest creative
resources? Or just feeling at home among friends?
At Camelot Castle one experiences all that and more.
Standing on the Cornish headland by Tintagel, the Historical birth
place of King Arthur has come to life. Camelot Castle was trans-
formed a few years by Media Entrepreneurs John and Irina
Mappin and Ted Stourton into what has been one of the most stun-
ning places in the UK to visit.
As you walk by the sea and drink up the sea air you realise
that a visit here once in a while is the exact antidote for the busy
city life that many of us lead.
Dinner is served by an outstanding brigade of chefs that have
been flown in and recruited from the Jumeirah Group in Dubai.
Indeed so delicious are the menus at Camelot that the most stress-
ful decision of the weekend is deciding what not to have. The food
is English with an international theme and the deserts are com-
pletely irresistible. The Crème Brule that I had on my first evening
was one of the best ever.
Breakfast is both traditional and generous, served again by
graceful Peter the Maitre’d, in a style more expected in Gstaad that
on the Cornish Riviera (not surprising as the owners grew up in
the Palace hotel there).
The whole focus and ethos of this stunning hotel is designed
to invite you to explore new ways to relax and to regenerate your
creativity, that true essence of being that is the reason that we are
alive.
My room had the most sumptuous four poster bed and en suite
bathroom that was the size of most bedrooms complete with
Jacuzzi.
And what a view! A 270 degree view of the Atlantic ocean.
Tintagel has always held a wonderful significance for me, in
many ways it is the quintessence of England.
Now with the rebirth of Camelot Castle we will always have
that special home from home, a private getaway which allows me
to treasure the real me that I know and love.

IN THE LAST THREE YEARS Camelot
Castle in Cornwall has become one of
the most sought after holiday destina-
tions in Britain. Located where Lord
Alfred Tennyson wrote “Idylls of the
King”, where Elgar composed his sec-
ond symphony and Turner painted,
Camelot Castle looks out over the
majestic Tintagel island and the
Atlantic. It commands a view that has
been known to inspire heathens to
prayer.
The hotel has always been a
favourite of artists and the guest book
reads like a who’s who of the creative
minds of the last centaury.
Theories as to why this is the case
and why artists have felt compelled to
visit this location are as diverse and
interesting as the mythology that sur-
rounds the Castle itself. What is not in
doubt is the extraordinary benefit and
inspiration that artists have experi-
enced as a result of arriving there.
Today any artist who feels that their
creativity or inspiration would benefit
from staying at Camelot Castle is eligi-
ble to apply for their Artist in Residence
Program. Indeed, in the last fourteen
months Camelot Castle has activated
and helped over three hundred and fifty
artists from around the world who have
benefited from this program.
The program, run at the discretion of
the owners of Camelot, John and Irina
Mappin and Ted Stourton, is one of the
most exciting, fresh and innovative ideas
to influence the creative community for
many years.
“The whole purpose of the artist in
residence program is to validate and
help artists in any way possible.
Creating a space for artists that is free
from any evaluation or invalidation has
been the first step. Artists, which we
define as anyone interested in creating
a high quality of communication in any
media or form are immensely valuable
to the culture and should be looked
after and helped at every opportunity.”
“Art and creativi-
ty has in the past
become exclusive and
a pursuit of privilege.
It is interesting that
the root of “exclusive”
is to exclude. Actually
art can be completely
inclusive and avail-
able to all people. Art
is food for the spirit of
all people.” For that
reason instead of
turning Camelot
Castle into an exclu-
sive hotel for the rich,
Mappins and
Stourton have
ensured that prices stay extremely com-
petitive and it is possible to stay at
Camelot for £39 pounds per night
which is no more expensive than a
local bed and breakfast.
“There is also a technical reason
that it is vital to help art and artists in
the society to flourish: The wavelength
of aesthetics and beauty happens to be
that wavelength that most closely
approximates the human spirit in
native state. Many people have experi-
enced what happens to them when they
encounter beauty, be it in a visual,
musical or purely conceptual form.
Aesthetics have the ability to raise and
help the spirit and in fact acts as a dis-
integrator wave causing less desirable
elements in life to vanish. There is a
direct symbiotic relationship between
the artists in the society and the society
itself. Our very survival is in fact direct-
ly linked to the amount of beauty being
produced at any one
time across our
world.”
“Our artists
are those beings that
have the extraordi-
nary responsibility of
ensuring that beauty
continues to be creat-
ed across the world.
Actually it is a
tremendous responsi-
bility and is not
always easy in a
world that appears at
times to negate the
efforts of the artist or
their products.”
“Our artists are the true architects
of the future.”
“To be an artist in the current envi-
ronment takes an extraordinary
amount of courage and integrity. We
have found that when artists come to
Camelot as “Artists in Residence” they
get a boost of inspiration and connect
up to a source of help and encourage-
ment that is not always present in their
lives.”
“Some of the most enjoyable suc-
cesses that we have had is with kids
from the inner city schools who come
here and experience Camelot and the
extraordinary natural beauty here for
the first time. You can see a light go on
inside of them and you just know that
nothing will or can ever extinguish it.”
“It is very easy to take the creativity of
artists for granted. Our own view is that
any effort in the direction of helping
artists is repaid one thousand times
over so we continue to help and wel-
come artists to stay as part of the Artists
in Residence Program as often as we
can.”
“Camelot is the first in a chain of
Hotels that we have planned in
Mythological locations around the
world. Each of those hotels will welcome
artists in the same way and will contin-
ue the tradition of helping artists that
has successfully begun at Camelot.”
Who qualifies as an artist for the
program? On this John, Irina and Ted
agree: “As soon as someone says they
are an artist, why, then they are one.
The decision to create is probably one of
the most powerful decisions that a being
ever makes and by validating that deci-
sion and giving it a window of space to
be nurtured it is extraordinary what can
occur.”
