Hey Woodsie, I really enjoyed your contribution last week, hope you're coming back :-)

However only three weeks ago we didn't know whether we had a group or not and now we are trying to run a festival!! - four weeks ago we were meeting in my front room with space to spare!!!

I am as keen as anyone to have an event here and this Saturday would be fine with me but I think we need to consolidate our presence and show Mick the landlord that we want to be there for the long haul. A bit of patience and get it right is probably more important. In the meantime every Monday evening is festival time

I think also it would be useful to assess where we stand in the North-West Kent folk scene. Are we London facing or are we Kent facing. Our roots have been in Kent but we may well be making the transition to being a South-East London venue in which case clashing with events like Faversham and Broadstairs could be far less relevant than clashing with Blackheath and Folkmob (Hi Essex Girl, might we see you next Monday?)
