Only just come on this thread again. We are happy to help Mark out at The Corn Exchange. We sat in for Kathy when she broke her arm. All the best to her from Sue and Trevor.. T D L.

Piglets will be haunting the purple wine bar in the High Street as per usual this year - with a great line up of guests (also as per usual!!) Drop by and see us on your way between pubs.

Will try and pop into the GI some time if schedule allows!

If there are any spare pairs of hands out and about in Rochester early (9.00-ish!) we would very much appreciate some roadies to help setting up the City Wall stage. The only two members of the band with backs are Sue and Lyndsey...

Could someone give Karen Cater of Hedingham Fair a hug for me please? Tell her it's from Old Keepers!

And there is plenty of beer so far...

The "Kate likes Willy" is quite drinkable!

The find of the festival has got to be 'Octopus'. Thay played their first gig on the main stage this morning and they were fantastic.
Thanks for everyone who supported the 'Good Intent' over the weekend. Some memorable sessions

Didn't spend as much time as I would have liked in the GI, but brilliant as usual. Thanks Karen and Dal for all your hard work and hopitality.

Great day drumming with Gong Scourers on Saturday. Great day on Sunday just walking around and meeting old friends. HUGE thankyou to Frank for the GORGEOUS and BRILLIANT painting that he did of me in my Morris kit!!! Sunny, but WINDY procession with Gundulf's today. All in all, a very pleasant Sweeps! Long may it continue!!!!
