Get woger
- 14 November 2009 10:5533062Yes Sue i recall all that in my 25 years!!!
Both kings very effective in diffrent ways, but work got the better of them, as they couldnt devote the time required of them at that time.
Still see Mary king each day nearly walking grand children around my area
and of course phil who works in folkestone now.
Jim truelove yes a voice of the past.
Always recall before becoming a cllr i was speaking to him at the flats on the folkestone road and it was my first time standing(25 years ago!!)
He said to me when he and I get elected as in his opinion we were favourites.
he had this plan and that, and was up for chair.
Of course in reality that didnt happen, after a long campaign gwyn and i were elected, jim sadly had spent some time trying to run down the local assoc prior to the election and the people remembered.
The ward now in with maxton/elms vale is very marginal to all parties(well labour and tory) have to say i dont hear owt from lib dems from election to election.
so they unlikely to inspire.
Also recall in those early days before joining council i used to visit both chambers at county and District to see what it was all about, and it did open my eyes.
I also recall the parties used to meet up in park inn after council meetings
recall jim treuelove buying me a beer! - 14 November 2009 16:2333102Talk about digression !!
Roger - 15 November 2009 09:3133140SUE started it lol
just replied to those points - 15 November 2009 09:5933143Yes its good to see Roger getting this new position. For years he has been striving manfully to bring success to the local businesses and as with all these things one needs a recognised title to help make it work...such as Town Centre Manager or whathaveyou etc etc..a position always adds clout.
Roger did that marvellous thing recently too with his leaflets, jointly with LD Lines as I understand it, leafleting our local French cousins about what we have to offer. The Chamber of Commerce seems to have a new ball and they seem to be running with it...so..good luck to them
So above all good luck Roger, your enthusiasm is great.

Lots to do of course, just hope the co-operation is forthcoming.
