    maybe they should do a tie in with the pavilions 'live by the sword' ad campaign, and have a bike jousting tournament to publicise it?

    No swords, but we'll have a few bikes on turbo trainers that you can try out.

    The most disappointing thing I learned as a child is that Swords is not actually full of swords.

    The Town of Swords was formed in 560 and is named after 'Sord being the Irish Gaelic for pure and of which the holy well of St. Culumba stands to this day which was founded.
