Battle of Britain Service for 70th Anniversary

It is good to see our young people showing a commitment to remembering those in uniform who risked their lives to create a better world for us all. The 20 young people from the Air Training Core processed with pride and carried the flags, leading in the men and women in uniform who were at Holy Trinity as part of the remembrance service marking 70 years since the skies over Kent were full of the aeroplanes fighting in the Battle of Britain.

Lydd Mayor's Fundraising event at Lydd Golf Club

I can still feel a twinge or two as I write this, having hit 50 balls on the driving range in what appeared at the time, an easy style. My muscles the following day did not agree!

Under 10% Used: Sandgate Parking Charges Income Flops But Hurts Business and Residents

A Sandgate Councillor has slammed news that the first full year of parking charges at Sandgate's Castle Road Car Park saw pay and display income of just £16,590. The income is massively under the prediction of £25,000 a year by Conservative Shepway Council when they changed the car park from being free to pay and display last year.

Day out in Sandwich

A slick organisation and a well planned day was blessed by the excellent weather to create a memorable experience in Sandwich. The Speaker of The Cinque Ports and Town Mayor, Terry, opened the day with a welcome. With 30 people attending the fund raising event, there was a need to split up into three groups for the tours.

Day out in Dover

I guess being by the sea we should expect windy conditions and "blustery" is what we got! As always, we were greeting with great hospitality and the arrangements for the day were explained from the starting point of the Dover Transport Museum.

Hop Festival

Starting a tour of the town in The Shepherd Neame Brewery sounded like an excellent idea, but coffee was the only thing on offer. The informative talk about the history of hops was excellent and I learned a great deal, especially specific information about the variety of Kent hops.

Volunteer litter pick at Littlestone Beach, New Romney

A community litter pick on 31st August on Littlestone Beach has marked the conclusion of 18 months work by local councillor Val Loseby to get local residents support on keeping the beach maintained. Despite having willing community volunteers to litter pick the beach on a regular basis, Shepway Council had refused to give them the support needed - like picking up the collected litter bags at the end of the day.
