Guests celebrate dolphin swim launch (pics)
Wet weather dampened the popularity of the Dolphin Discovery Centre’s 25th birthday celebrations at the weekend but centre general manager David Kerr remained buoyant about the event.

The two-day Dolphin City Festival was expected to attract 2000 people, but Mr Kerr said numbers were down because of the rain and poor weather.
“It was quite good on Saturday but down on what we would have hoped for on Sunday,” he said.
Despite the smaller-than-expected crowds Mr Kerr said the weekend had been a good trial for events he hoped to roll out over summer.
Mr Kerr said he intended to start Saturday night food markets at the Dolphin Discovery Centre over the summer months.
“On a balmy summer evening it would be fantastic and I’ve got positive feedback from the stallholders,” he said.
The Saturday Open Day has been running for the past three years to celebrate the start of the dolphin swim season.
