    We had a 3 week lead time to organise this. I was unsure of what the attendance numbers would be like and made sure that stewarding arrangements were resilient rather than minimal. Despite the short lead time and consequent difficulty in publicising the event as much in advance as the organisers would have liked, there were a maximum of 500 people around at a couple of points during the morning (as estimated by the roaming security staff), a queue to sign the charter from before the start and until after the official finish and UNITE collected many hundreds of signatures (I haven't got the final count yet) on the charter. Overall the atmosphere was great, the bands were a brilliant exposition of local talent and visiting politicians and visiting (non-Kent) press were impressed with both numbers and strength of feeling expressed by those who came along.
