ON BEHALF of the Lions Club of Weymouth and Portland, I would like to sincerely thank all those who helped make our Out Loud music festival in Weymouth town centre such a fantastic success. The many artistes and performers gave their time for free and the people of Weymouth & Portland, as well as many visitors and holidaymakers, turned up in their hundreds to make it an enjoyable and entertaining weekend. Someone commented that the event brought the town to life as a community.

The Lions do what they can to support local good causes and at the same time provide enjoyment for the people of Weymouth and Portland and the many visitors. We are the organisers of the annual Christmas show for senior citizens at the Pavilion, the Christmas Day harbour swim and the annual Beach Motocross, as well as other local events. The Weymouth and Portland Lions club, part of a 1.4 million-strong worldwide organisation, use all money raised to support local good causes and we would like to thank everybody who performed, supported and joined in over the weekend. Thank you very much, all of you!

If anybody wants to appear next year, have some fun and showcase their act, please get in touch with the Lions and help to make this another outstanding annual event in Weymouth.

Les Board President,

2015/6 The Lions Club of Weymouth and Portland
