Drought-hit New Mexico town eyes economic liftoff from Virgin Galactic space launch

  TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NEW MEXICO As the first passenger rocket plane gears up for takeoff, a sleepy desert town near Spaceport America in New Mexico is hoping for a liftoff from tourism. The oddly named town of Truth or Consequences, 48 kilometres (30 miles) from the launchpad, relies on its hot springs, healing waters, and nearby Elephant Butte reservoir for its livelihood. But tourism has evaporated with the drought, which brought the reservoir s water level toward record lows. Residents of TorC, as they call it, are looking skyward for relief. This is real pioneering stuff, opening up the heavens to the entire world, said town manager Bruce Swingle, who is organizing a watch party on Sunday for Richard Branson s launch of Virgin Galactic Holding Inc s space tourism flight.

Ringwood Town FC home ground to be redeveloped

RINGWOOD Town Football Club have partnered with the local council and AFC Bournemouth to redevelop the facilities at their Long Lane ground, in plans described as a “clear win” for the town. AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust and Ringwood Town Council has provided “significant investment” into the re-development of Long Lane, also known as the Macra Community Stadium. The site will continue to be the home of Ringwood Town FC and will enable staff and players associated with the Cherries’ Community Sports Trust to be based on site. Several community programmes will also be held at the ground. To help bring the project to life, the three organisations are being supported by New Forest District Council, the Football Foundation and Hampshire County FA.
