  Bit of a shock as the Forum Combo was due to headline this year, me singing in beery tone, Brian with his toneless whistle and Keith on the spoons. We would have made China Crisis look like a downgraded local restaurant.

  That's a shame, it's been really good in recent years.
  
  I wonder what the real reason is for the cancellation?

  Dont know in this case but often all the red tape,elf n safety,and cost of public liability insurance kills off a lot of events.

  Dover Harbour Board have the money.
  
  They take things over - for instance, also, the Regatta.
  
  Then Kill it.

  Rather unfair on Timmy Wagtail who has destroyed our pier and made the seafront a no go area and most heinous of all banned Brian from whistling.
