Novembver 14th and 15th

Together we can make this grow...Take a look at your diary for November 14, 15 and 16 please, and let me know if there is anything going on that weekend I can add to these two events:Saturday 15 November at the Grand Hotel, Swanage THE ROBIN BIBI BAND (unplugged) 8.30pm Sunday 16 November at Bar Seven, 1 High St, Swanage (was Victoria Club aka Shades Bar) THE ROBIN BIBI BAND (electric experience) 6pmBy bringing Robin and his band down for two gigs and giving them accommodation, it makes the trip from London viable. Let me know if there’s anything else going on in Swanage that weekend, and I will publicise whatever complements my ‘core’ attraction! By giving potential visitors the opportunity to make a weekend of it, this could be the start of something big (again!)More info about Robin Bibi below, and please send this email on to anybody local you think might be able to contribute to what’s going on that weekend. Together we can make Swanage an even more attractive place for people to come to out of season!Best Wishes,
Steve Darrington.

Purbeck Housing Trust

0 out of 3

That's how high Purbeck Housing Trust have just been rated.

Just think, PDC one of whose main aims is to provide affordable housing are against the Lychett Minster development and even if they weren't, then this 0 out of 3 body would be in charge of the affordable bit!

Swanage Online Forum

Probably get accused of cross posting, but what the hey!

"www.virtual-swanage.co.uk forums had a lively debate going about SBVHP. But suddenly the forums have been removed.
A case of censorship"?

Sure is.

Since

http://www.swanageforum.co.uk/

had its re-vamp I've steered clear of posting, cuz it usually ended in a scrap. But I've still been lurking!

Swanage Blues Festival

May I thank everybody in Swanage who helped make last weekend's blues festival such a pleasurable experience for all the visitors?

I received many compliments from festival fans about the great service they received in the pubs, restaurants, shops and where they were staying.

The phrase that was used over and over again about the town and people was "warm and friendly".

Thank you everybody for continuing to make the blues festivals so successful!

Dates for next year are 6-8 March and 2-4 October 2009. If anybody wants to help in any way, please phone 01929 422338, email s.darrington@btopenworld.com or drop a line to me c/o the Tourist Information Centre, Shore Road, Swanage BH19 1LB. Thank you.
