I’d like to say thank you publicly to two local people and the organisations they represent for a very special weekend break away for my family.

They are Mike McManus of the Weymouth Kite Festival and Paul Hartley, reception manager at Littlesea Holiday Park.

I was lucky enough to win the Kite Festival programme draw in May, the prize being a weekend (Friday to Monday) at Littlesea.

It was my privilege and pleasure to give this to some of the young members of my family who live in the Midlands. They’ve just had a fantastic weekend!

They were welcomed by Paul personally and allocated a spacious three-bedroom caravan.

It was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and the floor-to-ceiling front window looked over the park and beyond to the hills of West Dorset.

Thank you very much, Mike and your committee and Paul and the Littlesea staff.
