What’s on in Bournemouth this weekend?

Hi Everyone,

Here is my hot tip for things to do this weekend in the Bournemouth area. The established Animal Windfest will be hosted at Sandbanks, Poole. The Windfest attracts the biggest names in the extreme sports industry and at least 10,000 visitors each year!

Two new sports will add to the visual feast this year: Ultimate Beach Frisbee and Surf Ski. Sounds good? Then come along and give it a go yourself as visitors will be welcome to enter and join the competition.

Bournemouth acts on climate change

Submitted by tina.arendholz on Wed, 2011-03-23 13:55

In the Council’s first Go Green Bournemouth Survey last year, most respondents said they believe that man-made climate change is real - significantly more than nationally. In response, we are ramping up our effort to demonstrate this strength of local commitment to tackling climate change and its causes.

Spring has arrived in Poole!
