Festival cancelled

Sadly, due to lack of attendees, the Weymouth Bayside Festival due to run throughout the Olympics has closed today and gone into administration. We had really enjoyed ourselves at the Magic of Motown night on Tuesday and had bought tickets for four more evenings. We may be able to claim something back through our credit card but we'd much rather have gone to the events. We'll still be able to watch the closing ceremony on the big screen on the beach as that's a separate event run by the local council.

And we can still go up the 174ft Olympic Viewing Tower. The tower looks like a cross between London's Post Office Tower and an Olympic torch and the viewing platform slides up the outside of the tower and then rotates slowly. Maybe after a drink or two!
