  ...this coming weekend?
  
  Then don't bother with the Dover Express because they are not bothered themselves.
  
  This so called 'local' newspaper has not printed a single word about the Hellfire Corner weekend coming up. Their rivals, the Dover Mercury, have had exactly the same information and press releases as the Express and have so far printed two very good and prominent reports in recent weeks of what will be happening (and thats without my seeing today's Mercury and finding out what may be in there).
  
  The Express can always find plenty of room for Folkestone (including its 'foreign' Chamber of Commerce) but it can't help local groups wioh advance publicity.
  
  We were more dependant on the local papers providing advance publicity than ever this year due to being more 'cash strapped' than normal and deciding to spend what money we had in maintaining the quality of the show. Additionally we find we are competing against an England World Cup match with the Saturday evening dance as well......
  
  So thank you for nothing Dover Express - you are living true to your poor reputation.
  
  Well done and thank you Dover Mercury.
