  Didn't know anything about the Red Arrows OR the 1960's weekend. If it hadn't been for Ed I wouldn't have known about the steam train visit either. Dover's PR machine fails yet again. Hurrumph.

  the red arrows were on their way to an air show in thanet.
  
  mystified by the 60's weekend, saw no road signs from the automobile association about it, the responsibility for promotion is with english heritage.
  
  cannot blame any of our councils for this one.

  Always worth a look at the Red's website as they put up a detailed weekly schedule of all (requested) flyovers that they do

  Yes I believe it was, this is part of the Music at the Castle all through June. I recall seeing info in the paper about it, there is an EH advert as you exit the docks and I think there is a banner at Duke of Yorks.
  Been nice knowing you :)

  Yes I saw the Red Arrows....only for a brief but sublime moment. Heard this thuderous racket over my roof and galloped to the window to see them power over the castle way and vanish into the distance. All too brief but great while it lasted. No chance of a picture though. All too quick.

  The Friends website has all the events at the Castle up to October.
  
  Next Sunday it will be brass bands.
  
  For those FODC members "The magazine" Newsletter No 51 has details of all events in 2010

  Brass bands!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm off to somewhere this obnoxious excuse for music can't be heard. If it's military bands I can just about cope, but that BBC oop ter Nerth type brass band stuff is just dire IMHO.

  Can`t we hire them for a display down here, and charge?
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
