Quick reminder about our Folkestone People History Centre AGM tomorrow Tuesday 31st March 7.00 pm at the Woodward Hall. Our speaker (changed from our initial announce) will be Dr Paul Bennett, Director of the Canterbury Archaeological Trust who will talk about Anglo-Saxon CSI Sittingbourne: a fascinating story of archaeology and science.
In addition to Dr Bennett talk, you will hear about FPHC own CSI project 'Finding Eanswythe' which, after the success of 'A Town Unearthed', will explore the place of Folkestone in the Anglo-Saxon world.
This meeting and talk are entrance-free. Post-AGM, FPHC will be resuming it's membership with a 5 annual fee which will give you access to free or discounted talks, events and previews.
Directions to Woodward Hall: the Hall is accessible through a side gate next to St Eanswythe's School. Parking is available after 5.30 on Rendez-vous Street or at Payers Park. The Hall is on the First Floor but is accessible by lift.
The event will be signposted at the door.

This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
