During the afternoon sesion at the Maritime Museum on 5 August 2012 it was announced that the Finn racing event would be screened in the theatre for visitors to watch. There was, at the time of the showing of the race, a quietness in the building as most of the visitors found their way to the theatre. When the viewing of the Olympic race was over & Ben Ainslie's success had been announced there was a rush of visitors to the Waterfront pool & Clive Mathison & John Fortey found themselves swamped with contestants aged 5 years to 55 years (plus), all wanting to race our model yachts. Parents were taking photographs of their children on the model Olympic podium & applauding Ben Ainslie's success with cheers & clapping. Our Waterfront location was extremely busy right until closing time. The 'buzz' was really amazing and it was great to be a part of the enthusiasm of the Olympic success of Great Britain's team hero.Clive Mathison, Volunteer
