Salt water or fresh?


I would guess mainly fresh but might have a hint of salt a couple of times a day.....

John Walker. Agree with you there, another category. I was going to put on a bit of KH about John Boulter, we were friends at Gillingham County School back in the early/mid 40's & he became world famous with the Black & White Minstrals, but I didn't know where he belonged?

within a 10 mile circle  from Doddington?


Nearer to 16 miles from Doddington.  Very close to water.

Just adding to John Walkers previous post.
Yes Chicory Tip were a Maidstone group.
 I knew Rod Cloutt  when we were teenagers. He played with  my then boyfriend at our local  youth club in Gillingham .


Sadly he passed away in Australia in 2017.


Thanks for the confirmation Lyn L.   Might be worth starting a new thread as there could be a lot of interest.  the nearest category I can find is under Leisure   -    Nightclubs and Dancehalls  which doesn't quite fitPerhaps we need a category for Bands and Entertainers

Thanks Johnfilmer - that was a trek  ;D
I believe Chickory Tip was a Maidstone based band.  When I had my music shop in Canterbury we had a lot of dealings with Eric Snowball who had a very successful music shop in Maidstone.  He had connections with Chickory Tip as I recall.  Good times.

Next one ....  should be an easy one...

You made it JW, it was one of the classic, ford and kit car shows there. Sadly missed this year, hopefully back soon. Even the live band was suitably vintage - Chicory Tip.

I think that just leaves Aylesford Priory ?


I hope it is - my arms are aching with all that paddling  ;D ;D ;D
