This part of a "blind" circular email I sent round a short while ago - if anyone would like to be added to my email address groups, please do let me know - the emails are always sent out blind, so no one can receive any scam or spam from them. The greater number of people I send them to, the greater number of people know what's going on and as regards those on local business news, the businesses benefit too.
"Dover District Council will be holding a Prospective Councillor Evening on Wednesday, 10 November 2010 at the Council offices from 6.00pm to 8.30pm.
