What a coup and well done, just think of all the cups of coffee that will be needed, I hope they pay.
Andrew do you know why Deal was chosen as opposed to any of the others in "this specific region of the county"

In which case Martin I hope somebody turns up for her to talk to, our roving reporter together with camera perhaps.

I would like to think Howard will be poised camera in hand, presumably they will have some guests lined up otherwise it could be a pretty dull show if nobody turns up. Trevor Bond spoke on RK this morning re employment issues, very interesting he was too.

i followed martin's lead and popped down earlier, expected to see a van with all sorts of equipment.
not so, they were just sitting at a table outside the bar there.
i don't think julia liked the look of me for some reason.

Thanks Howard. Thanks Roger. In answer to your question, Jan, Deal is very active and engaged with bettering things for the town at large.

Good photos Howard, was working this morning so only heard a small part of it, I heard a man called John speak and he had a real passion for Dover, thought it may well have been John Heron?
