19 August 2011 05:20121600soiunded like a good day
we should applaud the organisersALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 20 August 2011 21:03122104just a reminder that local band destined for greater things "deepwater horizon" are gracing the bandstand in pencester gardens tomorrow from 2 p.m.
tracy thomas has coming specially from california to appear at this gig(o.k. a bit of an exaggeration, but she is very welcome and has roots in dover). - 21 August 2011 13:16122194Tracy performed at the Prince Albert last night, excellent evening of entertainment very well received. She also played at The Priory on Friday evening, I think this afternoon's gig is the last before she returns home.
- 21 August 2011 15:31122208this was the scene at 2.00 p.m. only me and 3 others at the same time last week.
the band "deepwater horizon" entertained the assembled throng with great panache.
lead singer tracey thomas from the states but with a grandmother who came from nonington had great stage presence.
- 21 August 2011 15:56122214always a pleasure to meet a new forum member, today it was ted smith who comes across as a friendly bloke.
you may remember ian and him met up at the armed forces weekend this summer, they were in the army together and neither knew that they lived a couple of streets away from each other.
a mystery forum member here.
two questions
a) who is he?
b) would you buy a second hand car from him?

2. Probably as he is a customer of mine and I would not wish to offend him.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson - 21 August 2011 16:29122226it was tony, don't often see him out so was nice to have a chat with him, took the snaps before so he was unprepared.
- 21 August 2011 17:14122235Well what can I say.
My girls are at the V festival near Chelmsford and paid £120 each for the privilege, no doubt they are having a good time, I popped into Pencester gardens for free and had a whale of a time.
I caught Howie who had not put the new batteries in yet.
The Band Deep water Horizon where to say the least, EXCEPTIONAL.
A four piece band, base, lead, skins and singer where in my eyes and ears faultless. and they really enjoyed themselves.each with their own talent brought into the band.
AND on top of that along came Tracey Thomas from LA to visit Family and gave the whole of Dover a Good hammering in pubs and Pencester and enjoyed every minute of it.
The whole crew afterwards and the lady on the skins.
I had a terrific afternoon, and no Howard I aint gone AWOL.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 21 August 2011 17:35122239great stuff ian, tremendous shots.
got one of you, fran and ted from the side was going to do a mystery member bit, no point now as people have seen wahat you are wearing.
will get you another time, they are a tremendous band, a credit to dover. - 21 August 2011 19:25122266what lovley afternoon it was it was nice to lisen to a local band and Tracey Thomas as well thank,s for the photo howard it was nice to meet you and ian and fran as wellYorkshire Born And Yorkshire Bred

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 21 August 2011 19:49122279Pity Croc had to spoil them by putting his mush on them.....
Only joking Ian and I hope you enjoy your coach trip with Vic.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 21 August 2011 20:07122284Marek my dear friend.
If this was not such a public forum I could put you firmly on the floor with words.
But seeing as you are now in your mature years I wish to spare your arteries from increased pressure.
