o after the wettest hose-pipe banwe leave spring and head into whatis hopefully a stunning summer andlook ahead to a few event filled

months. We’ve already had a couple of greatevents on Walmer Green - the Brocante & theDeal Classic Car show and these are just thestart of a summer of events & celebrations.

In this issue we have an interesting piece onvisiting tourists & not to forget to welcomeand help them, after all our town motto is“ADJUVATE ADVENAS” Befriend the Stranger.There is a part of me which wants to keepDeal a secret; however, when we show ourvisitors around and I hear them say how lovely it is, I change my mind as I realise howlucky I am to live here.

I originally started this with a rant aboutunderdressed Deal-ites wandering about inthe sunshine & then I realised that I hadjoined the army of moaners & complainers.We have so much “doom & gloom” thrustupon us every day from the media and thegovernment that we sometimes forget aboutwhat is good. Living in Deal is not just good,it’s great.

Have a great summereveryone.

h, so the wettest drought in history appears to be over, thereservoirs are restocked and thesun is occasionally shining. What is

often overlooked when we cannot wash ourcars or water our gardens is that a significantdrought can have a huge impact upon thewildlife and a recent walk to a nearby lakedemonstrated not only the real lack of waterdespite the torrents of April, but lots of hungry ducks and geese, desperate to sourcefood.

Latterly my concerns have been more aroundanother drought, that in us harvesting the realtalent of our young people and making asociety which recognises them, not castigatesthem and which affords them the opportunitieswe older folk have undoubtedly enjoyed.

My point is simple really. Our young peopleare actively encouraged to go to universityand have been by successive governmentsbut we now charge £9k per annum (anincrease of £6k on 2011) for fees. They canoffset this cost by a loan which each yearadds £100 billion to the national debt until

the graduate can begin to repay the sum.The young people will no doubt at somepoint meet a partner and wish to buy a homebut will requires at least a 35% deposit if notmore. Their car insurance cost is astonishingfor young drivers and then we will expectthem to service all of their debt and pay the4th highest income tax levels in Europe so thegovernment can pay for, amongst otherthings, the 100 billion student loan debt.They will need to work until 70 and will haveto ensure that they have a pension as by thenthe Government pension will be practicallyvalueless.

There is an old adage that youth is wasted onthe young and it can be so, but goodness methe young people of today will have a toughenough adulthood shouldn’t we as the keepers of this fine country cut them someslack from time to time and perhaps moanless ourselves about our lot?

If only they wouldn’t wear hoodies and couldpull their jeans up!

his is a really important year fortourism in Kent. The GoldenJubilee celebrations, together withthe Olympics and Paralympics

offer fantastic opportunities to showcase thecounty and encourage people to discoverthe delights of the county, including Deal.

The Paralympics also makes us focus on theimportance of accessibility so that everyonecan fully enjoy what the town has to offer, andDeal has so much. It is one of the great jewelsin the county for people to visit, with its richhistory, its castle, wonderful seafront promenade, pier, local independent shopsand vibrant cultural life. Deal really is a specialplace, so it’s no wonder visitors want to comeand spend time and their money here.

Some may not however relish the idea ofencouraging visitors, but did you know thatKent welcomes more than 45 million visitorswho contribute £2.5 billion to the local economy, supporting more than 3,000 smalland medium businesses and over 50,000jobs! So tourism isn’t insignificant, it plays areally important role in the local economy. Itisn’t just one product we see, touch and use,for example like a car, but a whole series ofdifferent experiences that we have when wecome into contact with the businesses that visitors will use, such as; trains and buses,accommodation, attractions, shops, places toeat and drink.

Many of us love to travel and be tourists, butyou probably don’t think that just by living

here in Deal that you are involved in tourism,but you are! When a visitor stops to ask youfor help; directions or suggestions of whatthere is to see - to do - where to eat, you willcontribute to the impression they have of thetown and memories they will take away withthem.

So the next time you see a visitor, or if theyask you for help, it’s worth remembering, just

how important they are to the life of thetown; supporting local businesses and jobsand helping to conserve local heritage andmaintain many things, which everyone living inDeal has the pleasure of enjoying all yearround.

eal & Betteshanger RFC wasformed in 2006 through the amalgamation of Betteshanger RFCand Deal Wanderers RFC.

Following the closure of the colliery and thebarracks both clubs found themselves competing for an ever decreasing pool ofplayers and in 2004 the two clubs engaged indiscussions about amalgamating. Althoughthe two clubs had very different histories thejoining together has been very successful.

The club is extremely proud that it is one ofthe very few sides in their league who playhome grown talent without any paid imports.Following an exciting conclusion to the last season the Lions roared to victory andretained their place in the London SE2 League.

Next season the club is looking to field threeregular senior sides plus a new veterans’ teamplaying games throughout the season.

The club also has a thriving junior sectionwhich caters for all age groups from Under 7’sright up to Under 17’s.

he Astor Theatre is alive andthriving, holding a huge variety ofevents it is once again at the coreof community life in Deal. Many

who pass through its doors may not be awareof the history of this amazing building, or thecentral part it has played in the life of many inthe town.

It has shared some of the town's ups anddowns and had a few itself. In an exciting newproject we are aiming to capture memoriesand reminiscences so that they can be savedand shared with the wider community.

Hidden Stories is a joint project between theAstor Theatre, the Addelum History Groupand one of Deal's top storytellers. Our aim isto gather as wide a range of material as possible this year in order to create a lasting

record of how the Astor has played a part inthe lives of Deal people. This may take theform of a book, performances and a touch-screen facility within the Astor itself.

So, what does the Astor mean to you? Didyou meet your partner here, dance at a disco,watch a memorable show, show off your ballet skills or attend a wedding reception? Ifyou have a tale to tell, photos, newspaperclippings, programmes etc to share (we cancopy these) then do come along to the Astorand share them with us.

We will be holding events such as the JubileeTea Party where your memories can berecorded (and your original documentscopied and returned to you) so look out forannouncements on these or contact James atthe Astor to arrange a time to pop in.

ocal professional storyteller Roisin Murray is bringing Deal’srich and varied history to life in her new story-walks

around the old town, running through-out summer until 8th September.

Roisin tells us,

“When recession hit the training business I ran with my husband, Irealised a long-held ambition to focusfull time on storytelling. I began working in schools, performing publiclyand ran a storytelling club for adultaudiences. Moving back to Kent lastyear, where better to settle than Deal, with its amazing historyand character? Deal’s pastis more than sea and

smuggling, and it offers so much more today.These walks are a way to share my fascinationfor our lovely town with other residents andvisitors.”

Historical facts are well-researched but expectlively entertainment with the odd rousing chorus, tall tale and snippets of scandal.Evening walks are aimed at adults, whilst afternoon walks are more family oriented, withpirates, mermaids and the odd talking rat cropping up. Don’t be put off if you think youalready know Deal - as one participant said “I thought I knew Deal well but you haveshown me a whole new side of the place onthis walk”.

recent count of rough sleepersshowed the Dover local authorityarea to have the 4th highest number of people sleeping rough

in the county, with 14 people typically beddingdown in the district on any given night.

The statistics were produced by homelessnesscharity Porchlight, which has a rough sleeperteam working in Deal.

Now the charity has launched a campaign thatputs the power to help into the hands ofmembers of the public.

The “Don’t Just Walk Past - Tell Us” campaigngives you the option of calling a 24-hourhelpline number 0800 567 76 99 or

completing a form on the charity’s websitewww.porchlight.org.uk/tellus when yousee someone sleeping rough. You will beasked some simple questions about the person you have seen so that the specialistrough sleeper team, one of the largest in thecountry, can easily locate and identify them.The online form can even be accessed from asmartphone.

Porchlight conducts regular early morningstreet outreach sessions in Deal to locate andengage with rough sleepers but hopes thatextra intelligence from the public will meanthey can find even more vulnerable people.

Chris Coffey, strategic manager for the charity’srough sleeper team, says that the campaign is

keen to find people that arenew to the streets: “A largenumber of homeless peopleare currently staying on friend’ssofas or in unsuitable temporaryaccommodation. All too quicklythey can drop on to the streetswhen their welcome runs out.If someone has to sleep roughfor too long they can becomeentrenched in that lifestyle and develop further issues such as drug or alcoholdependency. We want help from the publicto find people quickly and prevent their situation from becoming even worse. We alsoknow that helping someone in the earlystages saves the public purse a significantamount of money in the long run.”

When the charity receives information about

a rough sleeper the team willtry to find and engage with thatperson as quickly as possible.

Mr. Coffey said: “We will invitethe person to a safe place suchas a local day centre run by oneof our partner agencies. Thiswill give us an opportunity toreally talk to the rough sleeper

and get a clear idea of their support needs.From there we can decide whether theywould be best placed into supported accommodation or somewhere more independent.”

012 is shaping up to be the pinnacle year for Kent basedwriter George Chittenden withthe upcoming release of his debut

novel ‘The Boy Who Led Them’ which is setin the seaside town of Deal in the late 18thCentury.

George began writing whilst backpackingacross Australia nearly a decade ago and fellin love with the profession.

‘It’s been hard work.Writing is a solitary profession and it’s takenyears of blood, sweat andtears to finally land a publishing contract’ saysGeorge. Introducing historyto the masses isn’t anythingnew for the young writerwho also manages the awardwinning tourist attractionCanterbury Historic RiverTours and has been teachinglocal history to the thousandsof tourists who flock toCanterbury for over five years.

‘I was raised in the streets of Deal’ saysGeorge, ‘and have always been fascinated bythe towns shady past. In the late 18th centurythe town was a haven for smugglers, so muchso that the youngest ever Prime Minister Pitt,the younger, sent an army to the town todestroy all seaworthy vessels which was amove only ever employed on Deal. It wasthis event that inspired me to write the novel’.

The Boy Who Led Them opens in modern times when a young victim of bullying discovers atwo-hundred year old messagefrom Jacob Swift, the king ofsmugglers, and gets caught upin an adventure that has thepotential to solve all of hisproblems and a mystery several hundred years in themaking.

The book is being published by Londonbased publishers Austin &Macauley and is now available from all good

bookstores.

handful of volunteers from localchurches in Deal run a communitycafe called Cafe Eden, twice aweek at St Richard’s Church, Mill

Hill. It is a not-for-profit café and any ‘savings’are invested back into the Mill Hill community.

As well as serving filter coffee for 50p andbacon rolls for a quid (amongst otherdelights), we also hold a local councillors surgery, have the Citizens Advice Bureau visit,and the local PCSO and Community Warden.We have just started talks with the Deal WithIt group and we hope to hold an ‘environmental’ surgery, and possibly a forum,with practical hands on help, advising peoplehow to use up leftovers, and stop wastingfood. Most Fridays we have stalls, some bric-a-brac, some crafts, tables are currentlyfree but all donations are appreciated.

We have also started the process of starting up a Trussell Trust Foodbank, something which you may have been featured in the news recently. For more information check out their website www.trusselltrust.org/foodbank-projects

On Tuesdays we have started a toddler

group, born out of Cafe Eden customers asking for our help in starting one up. OnMondays we have crafting sessions, impromptuand relaxed, bring your own craft or sit andlearn from others for free.

We have disabled access and totally welcomethose with disabilities (we have many customers from local care homes) wheelchairs,pushchairs and breast feeding mums are allwelcome...we even have a lady who bringsher well behaved dog! We have toys for thekiddies.

It has been a year since we started and as wehave gained the trust of the community weare now serving 50-60 people on a Friday.Although we are Christians, and see the project as ‘outreach’, we also have a volunteerfrom the local community, a wonderful mancalled Kenneth, who believes in his community... he washes up like a trooper!

We would love to encourage more volunteers,from all backgrounds, and also more customers so why not pop in and see what’shappening?
