will probably arrive at the weekend to start setting up.
the dates take in school and bank holidays so should be busy.
hope that they keep the noise level lower than last year though, the nearby flats got blasted out before.

I would rather go to dymchurch far less expensive, more fun and great family atmoshere.
I agree with my wife , with 3 kids the fair can be very expensive .

dymchurch is heaven on earth for young children, travelling fairs could never compete, they aim at a different market.

a slowish start to the opening day of the fair, weather gloomy, windy and damp.
the old traitional rides still here
wouldn't be a proper fair without mickey.
In this deep depression i think it unfair of the council to give them free elec to run the rides and then charge £2.50 a ride, I don't think many of us with kids will be there as other posters have said dimchurch much better value

You are right Howard. It must cost them a fortune in diesel.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in that post, Peter?

Yes it would be red diesel, you are allowed to use that for heating and power generation.

They pay for the use of the Gardens .If the grass is damaged they usually have to pay for the repair
