Papas start campaign to buy Pleasure Island carousel for Cleethorpes Pier

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/papas-start-campaign-buy-pleasure-1321846

"Papas Fish and Chips are hoping to put the carousel on Cleethorpes Pier and turn it into something that will benefit the whole community"

A great idea if it works out.  But the weight of the carousel and the strength of the pier; the damage to the carousel from waves and sea air; and how to protect an open air carousel from vandals?

Who built the carousel?  Was it Savages of Kings Lynn, who built the carousel that visits Lincoln Christmas market?

Fishmongers' lack of funds leads to loss of British Fish Craft Championship in Cleethorpes

http://humberbusiness.com/news/fishmongers-lack-of-funds-leads-to/story-6085-detail/story

Imagine a tent full of spectators watching experts filleting (etc.) fish.  With Grimsby next door, this was a good event to have in Cleethorpes.

Good luck with this year's event at Billingsgate, and we hope to see you back in Cleethorpes soon :-)
