The visit Thanet Website is very difficult to navigate and is part of a great visit network of websites like Visit Kent http://visitkent.co.uk/ where you arrive at a homepage with two links called “Go” on it , both taking you to different places, not an encouraging start.
News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
sad to see the Monster Bass Festival is cancelled :(
ReplyDelete15.16 I am awaiting a press release from Ramsgate Town Council and will cover this tomorrow in detail, sorry you are all having to suffer my refusal to publish the press release blog while I am waiting further responses from TDC.
ReplyDeleteMichael all the websites are poor and the people being paid to look after them dont care
ReplyDeleteDon when it comes to TDCIT the sites that TDC contract out some are incredibly bad, I think it is a case of once the initial agreement has been made, they just go on paying out the money.
ReplyDeleteIt is I suppose our money and not theirs, so why should they care?
What has happened to all the harbour events, i seem to remember ships open days, race of the classics, ships like the Endeavour and grand turk bringing hordes flocking to the town, and the power boat racing with all the fun of the fair and bands in pier yard, Nothing seems to be on any more ?
ReplyDeleteWent to Visit Kent and searched the date and it came up with 883 events. Pages 2 and 3 had loads of events listed for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAgain I cannot see a problem...
PS - large 70s headphones are all the rage a the moment !
ReplyDelete00.30 I got 58 this morning screenshot added
ReplyDeleteJust tried visit kent after a few attempts found attractions link typed in margate came up with amongst other things ROC DOC an event that was 27th march 2011. The site is not good
ReplyDeleteThe Margate Carnival website was awful. Annoying music, and very hard to read the scant information against the brightly coloured backdrop. No maps, no travel/parking info, no parade route. I see this again and again with events in Thanet.
