Is Flora Green is completely right in what she says to Fido above?

The Crown and Anchor evening song sessions are always run by her, from the centre of the room, even if there have been others in there singing or playing before she arrives. This may affect her perspective. It may affect the perspective of others. For about 5 years (until last year) surely she (with Andy her husband) led in Gundulf kit. Now she is not with Gundulf and may be with Priory. I am also slightly surprised by her assertion that Gong Scourers were in her part of the C&A this year: as far as I know their main musicians were elsewhere both evenings.

However a lunchtime mixed session at the Chimney Boy (maybe upstairs, where it could run on if wished) would be a good idea. I think it was floated further up the page.

I fear however that there are already widespread reports on the internet about low-life behaviour in Faversham, not just during the hop festival. See for example http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/2004/10/chavershamfaversham/
