Can't believe a) the forerunner of "make that bit of Folkestone nice" has closed, but also b) I had to be told of it by people who live out of town. I was down there the other day in 13cc and did not notice anything.
Googies was quite good, did they just overstretch themselves? Guess it did not work as well as a bar in the double sized premises. Good luck if you start again Mr Googies!
This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when I first came here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a handy resource for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
