Olympic opportunities?
The Olympics are really not too far away, with the Olympics in general and the Sailing Olympics in Weymouth , in particular, attracting hundreds of thousands of people. I've heard estimates of 40,000 journalists alone, and 2000 spectator yachts expected at Weymouth, with people from over 60 countries. Although the Sailing Olympics take place in 2012, there will be major "test events " in 2010 and 2011. There are opportunities for all sorts of businesses to get involved, and to benefit during the events as well as before and beyond. I'm trying to arrange a presentation in Swanage, but meanwhile,if you think you or business could benefit, you might be interested in two things: free training and registering as a potential supplier. To register as a supplier, see: http://www.competefor.com and https://etenders.london2012.com . For training, see: http://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/sharingtheflame/

Where's the Swanage Marina and the gone and going hotels when you could use them ?
It's all down to planning, or should I say Planners.

Dear RobO
the Marina didn't happen because of a referendum.
The voters of Swanage were the main reason why it didn't happen.
Hotels stay open if people stay in them.
Planners?
Confused.
The marina didn't happen because of a malicious group of lying, self interested Luddites who are mainly dead now or moved away from Swanage. We have no hotels because there was no marina to attract visitors and precipitate the transformation to an up beat resort which Swanage desperately needed.
Are we looking forwards or backwards ...?
When people have murdered the future of a Town they remain accountable. This isn’t “Local Hero” you know.
Streuth.
What the hell does that last comment mean?
Much too deep for me.
