Celebrating Our Deal...

'CelebrateYour Deal'
This Sunday 25th Oct saw a very successful 'Think Global, Act Local' event - the day was jam packed with stalls from local producers, Canterbury Greenpeace, creative writing, seed exchanges, workshops, talks, some community singing, face painting, a scary lot of pumkins from Rippledown and a really dangerous amount of real chocolate...

There was a good presence of local performers at the event:

Bill and Mac kicking things off at 10:30 in fine style

and the Deal Hoodeners did a couple of sets outside - including the 'Great North Run' which went down well with Snowdon marathon recovering Roadie

Driftwood played from 2:30 to the close (well actually beyond the close - they did Nelson's Blood as things were being packed up and the lights were going off; but they do pride themselves on being a band that can out last their audience!). A great set which went down well, fuelled by some serial tastings of a local cider. Thanks to our loyal supporters Lynda, Martin and Karen + Oregano for the lovely cake!

A video of Bad Moon Rising can be found at the band's YouTube Site

Well done to Helen (Age??) and all at 'Deal With It' for organising a fantasic event - Here's to a Greener Deal

Over the hills and far away....

Spare a thought for the poor roadie this Saturday 24th October - he is running the Snowdonia marathon and the forecast is for a mild monsoon.

To say this one is hilly is a bit of a understatement....

Back on Roadie duty on the Sunday as it the 'Celebrate Your Deal' Green event at the Landmark Centre ... with your favorite band playing at 2pm.

Bill & Mac are playing at 10:30 and the Deal Hoodeners are also lending their support....

Lots of interesting stalls ... see the report in this week's East Kent Mercury
