Applications reopen for grants to celebrate 450 years of Weymouth

A GRANT scheme allowing groups to organise events to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis being officially combined by Royal Charter is opening up for its second phase of applications. Weymouth Town Council said it is delighted with the quality and diversity of the celebratory community projects that the council has already been able to support with its Weymouth 450 Grant Scheme. This year marks 450 years from when Weymouth and Melcombe Regis were combined by an Act of Parliament. To celebrate this, Weymouth Town Council set aside a grant funding budget - a total of £15,000 - and invited local community groups to apply for grants of up to £1,000 to support their anniversary projects or events.

Events and music in Weymouth: MelWey Games on Saturday July 3

THE countdown is on for the MelWey Games event - an extravaganza of music, entertainment and contests to celebrate a historical milestone for Weymouth. Hosted by the Nothe Fort next Saturday July 3, the MelWey Games is being organised to commemorate 450 years since Melcombe Regis and old Weymouth were joined, to form what is now Weymouth. The event will see teams representing either side of the harbour battle it out to decide the ultimate winner in what promises to be a lively spectacle - contests include beer-barrel rolling, Dorset Knob-throwing, a tug of war, and a gig-rowing race around the Fort - as well as music from local band The Leggomen, and others.
