Kent Trading Standards have received reports of men selling shrink wrapped flat screen TV's from the back of a truck in the Folkestone and surrounding areas. Their information suggests that the sellers have no fixed address.
Kent County Council has given notice that from 19 July 2010 for a period not exceeding 5 days, Grace Hill, New Street, and Bradstone Road, Folkestone will be closed to through traffic. Grace Hill will be closed from the roundabout extending through New Street to include Bradstone Road up to the junction with Clarence Road.
Kent Trading Standards are warning of a scam mail being sent out telling people that they have won a substantial amount of money and that all they have to do is to order an item from a brochure enclosed with mailing. They are then promised that the cheque will be in the post. They won't. THIS IS A SCAM.
It is not unusual to be invited to a function and not to know what is about to happen - at least, not unusual for me! The description of the invitation was simply to support the Samaritans in a publicity event: what became clear later is that the date was the significant part of the invitation.
The annual Sandgate Sea and Food Festival will once again provide August Bank holiday entertainment.
Most of us will never know just how much talent is flourishing in our schools. Fortunately, I was invited to a show by Instep Dance Company, based at Brockhill School, and I experienced the highest level of performance I could have imagined. The programme enabled a wide range of performances to be seen from the various stages of instruction and development, from tiny tots to those ready to leave the education system.
The venue of Dover Parish Church was a dignified setting for the Mayor-making of Sue Jones. By this time, I have become familiar with the routines of these events but more importantly, people such as Sue have become my friends and I was so pleased to be there to celebrate with her.
Thank GOODNESS the weather held for the St George's Fun Afternoon held on Sandgate School playing fields. The bouncy castle probably captured the attention of most of the children but as all the activities were free, the Hook a Duck and Bean Bag Throwing also gathered quite a crowd. About 500 people attended the afternoon and were entertained by Creativity Puppets, The Mission Gospel Choir and The Imagination Theatre Group.
The people of Folkestone can be rightly proud of the Rainbow Centre (www.folkestonerainbowcentre.org.uk) and its work. As I have chosen the charity for fundraising this year, I was delighted to be invited to attend its 25th Anniversary service at St Mary and St Eanswythe's Church.
