Pleasureland at Southport gave a warm welcome to Neil and Christine Hamilton this morning to open the new ride Space Shot.

Mrs Hamilton told me that she is originally from Ormskirk, and they have been staying at the Scarisbrick Hotel for this event.

A big thank from me personally to Mr & Mrs Hamilton who were very helpful, co-operative, and had plenty of time to chat with myself and other reporters.
