Rafflesbear - I was not aware of the bogs - but yes, paddling in crap is wholly unacceptable.

As to folk - on the first Friday last year, I finished up in a karaoke bar because there was no folk anywhere at all. You can't move on to what is not there.

Disability drivers - if they park and camp on the end field, not the first school field, they can (as they should be permitted to) come and go as they please.

As to singarounds, maybe you have not been a Broadstairs visitor for very long. Broadstairs has never had the pub sessions that I hear so much of from Sidmouth. Every session has been closed down instanter at the end of the allotted time - until the Wrotham Arms. That has simply functioned as overflow. It is not a problem of oversuccess. It is a problem of undercapacity.

It also sounds as if you don't remember the old school sessions - where one had to get smuggled in by a friend if one was not a camper. Room after room of small crowded sessions where the booked guests were vying to outperform each other and the paying guests had to play above themselves (and did) to stay in the game.

And I'm not even a hard-core long-term Broadstairs person.
