Broadstairs has its own agenda - but the problem is not just for Broadstairs.

Broadstairs could go a long way to solve the problems by not having the PA from the bandstand so loud. We could hear the din at the ice cream parlour yesterday- about 300 yards away. The morris sides do not have to dance at the most restricted bit of the prom - forcing the people who just want to get to the beach to run the gauntlet of money collectors. Morris and appalachian sides also don't need 3 drums or amplified instuments - drowning out the next performer who is more considerate.

Musket - my concern is that 30 years ago there were people of 30 and under in the sessions. Now we are all 60 there are few people under 40. Are these sessions going to die out? Will it get more difficult to have sessions as the departing are not replaced? The Sidmouth concerts were also predominantly 60+ and the sessions not much better.
