This will be held at the Dover Working Mens Club in London Road, Dover.
It will enable all four candidates (Charlie Elphicke, Claire Hawkins, David Little and Sarah Smith) to give their views, to explain their philosophies and to expound their vision for the constituency that they wish to serve.
The meeting with be chaired by Mike Webb, former Town Centre Manager and Clerk to Dover Town Council.

The hall holds well over 200 people and has its own bar.
The planned format::
Panelists to arrive any time that suits them, but no later than 6.30pm
To begin the evening, each of the four parliamentary candidates, in turn, will have two minutes, introductory, microphone time.

At the end of the panel's answering session, the questioner can comment, as can other members of the public, as deemed appropriate by the chairman.

Sounds like a lively, entertaining and informative evening.

Thank you Jan.
I've just been very busy with lots of things that took me away from the Forum.
I can't be there, but am sure it will be lively and interesting.

Thursday evening at the Working Men's Club - there were no advance questions - questions were put on the night by the general public. The meeting was well chaired and moderated by Mike Webb and there was a heavy emphasis on local issues, which was very good.

Small event which will at best swing 10 or 20 votes. Insignificant compared to the constituency, would be better to have one large event in Dover and one in Deal.
Jack of Hearts
just for the hell of it.I would still pull in a 1000 votes and that could upset the apple cart.
