Re: New barge is in!!!

There is a video in our news section that shows the barge being pulled in. It is in the editor's choice box but here is a direct link:

Nice pics and vids, thanks all.

On a side note, I do wish people would get the terminology right - the Grand Pier was NOT completely destroyed by fire last Summer, it was the Pavilion which was destroyed and the pier itself was only damaged where the Pavilion previously stood.
