As the Election fever bee buzzes in the ears of the good people of Winchester - I can hear the many local Tower protestors cry out for the latest news on the campaign. So how is Winchester doing in the Performance Art Public Spending League.

With the threat of removing £115k of the £501k connected to the Tower - Winchester looks sure to be playing in the Vauxhall Conference Cultural Deprivation League next year. But not if the loyal fans can help it.......

The knight in shining armour - let me introduce Caroline Felton. Caroline has been appointed by Winchester City Council to perform an options appraisal for the Tower (I hear that Jose Morinho was interviewed - but Caroline won through!). We have a chance to meet her on Monday. She is very interested in hearing the views of the Tower users - what makes it such a special place? This is our chance to give the Tower the praise it so richly deserves. If you can't come on Monday - please send me any comments so that I can pass them on (e-mail address is alistairwmarsden@yahoo.co.uk)
