Margate summer Funtimes

[Orang Utan]

there are other crab museums?

 

[Rebelda]

I'm going next weekend! Two days one night. Am lobbying hard for the crab museum

 

[Epona]

We didn't go to the crab museum on our visit last year because we were there midweek (so missed out on crab museum and fancy ice cream parlour!)
Will plan this years' trip around that and do both

I may need to lay off singing Chas and Dave at random intervals as a bargaining chip.

I know he took a lot of time out because of his health but he is over that now. I imagine Margate was quite recent. I keep looking at his website and the BBC for tour dates but can't find any

Keep an eye out for catffiti

More catfiti for @Callie



Finally got a day down in Margate last month whilst taking in Canterbury and the Kent Downs, and got a look around the crab museum and Turner gallery. The Tudor House is currently closed but impressive from the outside still.

some thoughts among the 'south london drinks' contingent of possibly having an urban gathering down margate some time next year.

a few of us went to the museum of neoliberalism at lee green on saturday - he's moving out soon as the place (in britain's worst shopping precinct) looks like it's finally going to get redeveloped - got talking to him and he says he's possibly relocating to margate.

i've offered to see about a coach...

I think the Crab Museum will also be of interest to urbs, and last time I was there (last summer), Peter's did excellent fish n chips.

That's a lovely bus there

looking in to its parentage, i'm not sure i have met it, but did have some small responsbility for it many years ago...

I don’t live in south London, and in fact the last urbanite I met was very keen to remind me growing up in Bexley and Bromley does not count in London at all but my Dad does live out in Kent somewhere that’s just about possible to get to Margate from so would like to express an interest in this trip!

Would time with a parental visit
