Hi Annette,

Yes they do,  but also porpoises who are often mistaken for dolphins


> And is the Dolphin Shopping Centre what used to be the Arndale Centre?


Yes again, when we remember to call it by the new (!) name.

Sadly the Arndale Center management removed all those wonderful wooden
sculptures in 1994, just in case a child fell off and the parents claimed
for damages. They were there for twenty five years without any accidents
happening!


> Regarding the Poole Bobbin Lace Circle's lace day in the summer - is it
open
> to non-members?  Are there suppliers there?

Yes and yes again.  In addition to the annual lace day we have six meetings
throughout the year.  I suppose you could call them mini lace days.  There
are usually one or two suppliers, sales table, raffle, display and alternate
meetings we have a speaker.  Guests are welcome at our metings if introduced
by a member.  The next meeting is Friday 5th Sept at 7.00pm.  You would be
very welcome.
