Swanage and Weymouth

[Mr Grumpy]

I am heading for Swanage tomorrow with my grandson and I feel that it's time to introduce him to our friends. I have established that there was a show in 2016 and 2017; is it still there? Whilst searching I found a Dorset Echo article suggesting that Mark Poulton was quitting Weymouth but was looking for some backing from the council. Are you still there, Mark?

Facebook has largely taken over from website forums these days, certainly for urgent queries. This message board seems only used for occasional and more leisurely communication.

Mr Grumpy,

I perform on Swanage beach, we are there this year. we kick off properly on Saturday with shows at 12:00, 1:30, and 3:00 weather permitting. as Chris said it's best to find us all on Facebook as thats our main advertising on the web. https://www.facebook.com/swanagepunch/ is the Facebook page for Swanage Punch and Judy.
I believe there isn't a Facebook page for the Weymouth show anymore, but Mark is performing this year again, weather permitting. If you are going to go over to Weymouth, contact me through Facebook, and I can text Mark to see if he is definitely performing.

Hope to see you on the beach, make sure you come and say hello

Joe!

Thank you for your reply, Joe, we found your booth when we arrived on Monday, together with the announcement that the shows start the day after we return home! However, I am sure we will come again. Good luck for the season.
