Is this so, VM? I know Elgar's father grew up in Dover, but not that Elgar worked here.
He did, however, run a small band in a lunatic asylum, so I suppose that would be good training for a Dover job.

Grand Shaft April Open Day, Sunday 21 April, 10.30am - 4pm

Fit Dovorians should take it in their stride; unfit Dovorians should take breathing apparatus.
Remember, it is advisable to use this opportunity to climb these stairs now, as there may not be another opportunity before the Roman Painted House opens in July and, as every historian knows, you will get a nose bleed by travelling back too many centuries at once. For this reason, it'd be a good idea to use the Castle as a staging post sometime in May or June.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret to have to inform you that the central heating system failed during the night. The church was warm when we leftt at around 2300 last night and all was working, but discovered this morning a major leak in the boiler room.
We are doing all we can to make templorary arrangements but would suggest you wrap up well.
Our sincerely apologies, but it looks like a majoor job to get the system working again, which was beyond our experitse.
Thank you for your understanding. Concerts in 1700 must have been like this.
Winter draws on?

Soldiers who were killed while clearing mines from a beach at the end of World War Two are to be remembered in Kent.
A plaque will be displayed at Archcliffe Fort, which overlooks Shakespeare Beach, at a shop run by homelessness charity Emmaus Dover.

I'll unfortunately miss this concert but having been to previous ones can't recommend highly enough:-
WINTER FESTIVAL I – MASTERPIECES FOR HARMONIE
Members of Boxwood & Brass work regularly with top orchestras from across Europe, including Ensemble Pygmalion, the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, Academy of Ancient Music, Gabrieli Players, L’Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and the Orchestra of The Age of Enlightenment. For sixty years from 1770, many wealthy patrons and nobles in German-speaking lands employed a wind ensemble, often pairs of oboes and/or clarinets, horns and bassoons. Harmonien were status symbols, particularly after the Austrian Emperor formed his own eight-part ensemble around 1782. Arrangements, very much part of Viennese musical culture at the beginning of the nineteenth century, were central to Harmoniemusik. And “arrangement” was not a dirty word: re-workings were considered as valid parallel versions of the original. Josef Triebensee, who played oboe in the premiere of Mozart’s Magic Flute and chamber music with Beethoven, was the most important arranger of Harmoniemusik, and his selection of numbers from Don Giovanni expertly mixes the dramatic with the lyrical.

Slightly outside the district (Folkestone) but let's face it, it's not every day you get a livestreamed translation of a Saint!

'ancient runes'?
They're Anglo-Saxon runes, AD c500-c1000, used by Tolkien on Thror's map in The Hobbit, just yesterday in 1937.
OE's good, too: H A L G A • E A N S W I Þ
