So, first, who else will be at Broadstairs? I shall be there with Bishop Gundulf Morris (usually the field furthest from the town :(   )

Look out for the big white tent and often a flagstaff with some large bloomers flying as the flag....

Surrounded by a village of, from, and concerning Gundulfs, from 1 man pup tent size up to caravan large enough for an orgy inside and a ceilidh in the awning outside....

Competition this year to see who can get Barbara Brown to hospital fastest when she falls down the sailing club steps again (bad taste joke)

Another competition to see which of the Phatt B'stards finds me first when I start practising the drum at 9 am (another joke, and incidentally I had been playing and drinking into the small hours the night before, as well)

Which will be the killer sing at Broadstairs this year, or will it be run rigidly to schedule again? Will anyone put up some party mood lighting in the school? Will anyone drink more than Peter Collins?

But until then my diary is blank for camping events. What else before then is in or near Kent, participative, and meets "Mr Happy and fiends" criteria of being free or cheap?

Unfortunately I am tied up today or I could have gone to the garden party... :(
