St Georges Fun Afternoon at Sandgate School

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.

Folkestone Rainbow Centre 25th Anniversary

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.

Bowling for Beginners...

Invitations to events for Mayors can be a little vague - as was the case for the fundraising event put on by the Mayor of Ramsgate. The invitation invited us to attend a Bowls Tournament at Ramsgate Bowling Club but the clue was in the extra request for information on our shoe size!

Mary Poppins at St Peter's School

It's been a long time since I sat in school chairs in a school hall to watch a production! What made this so different was that it was a musical by both parents, staff, governors and children of St Peter's School, East Cliff, Folkestone.
