We all had a great night at The Three Tun's, so a big thanks to all the staff there.

Thought we would also have a added party to mark the end of 2005, so on Friday the 30th we headed off to Deal on the train from Sandwich, well it's only a 6 mins journey.

Most of the pubs we visited you'll find on our Deal Tour page, but one we've not been in that is well worth a visit to is The Eagle just by Deal Station

I joined them and we did an Outside Broadcast on kmfm from the sorting office and on a round in Ash. Over £1500 was raised.

Thanks to everyone who supported us on our delivered around the Sandwich post Area. . Also I've been very busy opening school Christmas fairs and some shops, and also turning on loads of Christmas lights around East Kent, including Margate with Sir Bob Geldof, who I have to say was a very nice guy.
