It is an absolute disgrace emergency council meetings to lend EKO 100 grand can be organised at the drop of a hat to save directors and cabinet members bacon, but a truly inspiring evnt like this and tdc is left with egg on its face and shed loads of bad publicity. Game on TDC has done it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-50743690720062287192010-05-27T20:45:04.387+01:002010-05-27T20:45:04.387+01:00That this was a PR disaster is beyond dispute but,...That this was a PR disaster is beyond dispute but, without knowing all the facts, there seems to be some conflict over ownership. One would have hoped it could be sorted and where exactly were the new Ramsgate Town Council in all this saga. Do they not have any influence or are they, as some expected at the time it was proposed, just another talking shop.<br />As to the Turner money, let us please put that to bed once and for all. That money was only available for that project on a take it or lose it basis. TDC could not have redirected elsewhere even if they had wanted to.Bluenotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506047184035056068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-60538256630653918452010-05-27T18:05:41.522+01:002010-05-27T18:05:41.522+01:00I agree with everybody with all that is said apart...I agree with everybody with all that is said apart from modeltugman.

There is no excuse, it can’t even be blamed on finances which our Council so often hides behind, forgetting that they are paid to “manage” them. I don’t know who is to blame for the Sundowner incident, but I wouldn’t mind betting the Council is in there somewhere.<br />The Council aren't the only ones to blame for the apparent Ramsgate Degeneration policy; we should all blame ourselves for letting the situation go on for so long. Operation Dynamo was a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. With the Dunkirk spirit we can do the same by making our voices heard. Let’s follow up our Dynamo defeat with our own Operation Overlord and fight them at the Beach, the Harbour, the Maritime Museum, the Pavilion, the West Cliff Hall . . . .Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081026907222344795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-72884546444501544592010-05-27T17:39:40.584+01:002010-05-27T17:39:40.584+01:00Trouble is guys, boat is owned by someone, they do...Trouble is guys, boat is owned by someone, they do not want it to take part, for what reason i do not know.

We had a lovely time putting on our little exhibition in the museum over 3 days and estimate more than 2,000 visitors ,so it shows that it can be done with a little work.<br />G Boyd.modeltugmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393686311222704908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-31040728672618872132010-05-27T14:10:52.557+01:002010-05-27T14:10:52.557+01:00Wouldn't it be nice for once to see some trans...Wouldn't it be nice for once to see some transparency on this issue from TDC.<br /><br />But the chances of that are?Rear view mirrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430442616534258638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-34794586302689903292010-05-27T12:51:15.645+01:002010-05-27T12:51:15.645+01:00I agree, this situation is a disgrace, filling on ...I agree, this situation is a disgrace, filling on all of the hard work of the organisers and local people involved, the Sundowner Situation, which was also picked up on the BBC news leaves a bad taste in my mouth!<br />No excusses TDC, answers and action are needed.Frank Battnoreply@blogger.com
