What a praiseworthy difference the old Imax site has made to waterside tourist entertainment.

Recently a group of my friends spent a enjoyable few hours watching the gloriously enchanting old classic musical “Mary Poppins”.

The ability just to walk in, sit down and watch a programme free of charge on the beach was reminiscent of the “Punch and Judy” shows of old.

Large screens, excellent sound, fresh sea air and the warm Bournemouth sunshine made it a memorable experience.

All in all though, “well done Bournemouth Borough Council”, a gamble worth taking in my opinion.
