Thanet District Council Snub Wantsum Jazz Festival, Red Arrows, Lark in the Park and Ramsgate week but push Monster Bass


Lots happening in Ramsgate this weekend, first the free jazz festival, nothing on the internet about this and certainly nothing on the council’s website, or at least nothing I could find apart from some bits in the monster bass program when the jazz festival is performing on the main stage. Anyway I have done what I can from available material see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/Wantsum2010/ for program and pictures, any more material, just send it to me and I will stick it up on the web too.

Monster Bass loads on the council’s website about this http://www.thanet.gov.uk/news/latest_press_releases/monster_bass_preview.aspx and http://www.thanet.gov.uk/leisure__culture/monster_bass.aspx oh and the program here http://www.thanet.gov.uk/leisure---culture/monster-bass/programme.aspx

The Red Arrows are at Manston too and I just got some pictures of them over Ramsgate click on the link to see when they will be flying over http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/teamnews/index.cfm?storyid=6000DA52-5056-A318-A8D6D0657E3BEC1F nothing on the council website about this either.

Sorry the pictures of the Reds are a bit fuzzy, I didn’t have the right lens for plane spotting with me and I suppose I wouldn’t have had time to put it on the camera if I had, click on the link for today’s lunch break pictures http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/810/id7.htm

Here are a few thoughts on them, from the top:

Ramsgate town centre was too busy to take pictures.

Tourist information centre another council owned asset empty, no rental income, carbuncle on the town, no apparent advertising of it as available.

Harbour Parade closed to traffic and a fun fair going up.

No sign of the Maritime Museum opening for the events this weekend.

Red Arrows over Ramsgate.

A large area of the beach has been fenced off and I think we are in for a bit of a blow this weekend so that should be interesting.


Ramsgate Week starts Monday and no mention of this on the council’s homepage either.

Click on the link for the Ramsgate Week website http://www.rtyc.com/ramsgateweek.htm

Lark in the Park is in full swing at Government Acre click on the link for their website http://www.larkinthepark.com/Groups/74716/Lark_in_the/Ramsgate_Lark_in/Ramsgate_Lark_in.aspx

I know that I am rubbing this one in a bit, but this is what the council are promoting on their homepage see http://www.thanet.gov.uk/ today, the links are copied from there.
