The Westgate Heritage Centre The Westgate Heritage Centre has its home in St Saviour’s Church, Westgate Bay Avenue Westgate-on-Sea. Its aim is to encourage and inspire local residents to explore the history of Westgate and Westbrook through displays, written information and monthly talks. Its members receive a quarterly newsletter either by email or in hard copy.

In 2012 the administration of the Centre was handed over to a Committee of Volunteers, who is now responsible for the running of the Centre. Recently the Centre has been awarded a grant of £7600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for specific projects. The centre is open from May to September on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 12 noon. On the first Saturday of the month there is a talk on some aspect of Westgate history, with an average attendance of 60-70.

These are advertised in the local press. This year the emphasis is on the commemoration

of the First World War with a programme of events from May throughout the year. For the first time, events are being put on outside the Centre. These include an illustrated talk on the Royal Naval Air Service seaplane base at St Mildred’s Bay, followed by a buffet supper, on 10th June at the Knot in Beach Road, a guided walk from St Mildred’s Bay to West Bay, also based on the sea plane base, on 30th July and an evening at the Function Room in the Town Hall Buildings above the Carlton Cinema on 20th August, when there will be an enactment of the Recruiting Rally of 28 August 1914, which led to many young Westgate men joining up immediately, some with the most tragic of results. For details about any of these events pick up a programme from the Centre or other outlets or contact me through the website.

Feelgood Fitness with MFA Fitness training is good for you? Of course it is! But training with Military Fitness Academy in the great outdoors is even better - fresh air, varied terrain and a beautiful coastal view combined with fun, friendly fitness sessions that work for all abilities. The feel-good factor of outdoor fitness vs an indoor gym not only invigorates the body but stimulates the mind - better than slogging away on a treadmill.

Instructor in the Territorial Army - he says “Our hour-long sessions are aimed to achieve the very best effort out of every individual whether you are new to fitness or looking for a different challenge and we promise you’ll enjoy it, it’s a friendly group and our members often take part in sport events together around Thanet and beyond.”

Look out for our special six-week intensive courses.

East Kent Mencap During the February half term holidays, East Kent Mencap ran a 3-day youth club providing activities and the chance for 12 young people with learning disabilities to meet up in the community, make friends and have fun!

EKM received £1,000 from Kent County Council, & £3,076.50 from the Ladbrokes Charitable Trust for the club, running from Monday through to Wednesday.

The Forelands School in Broadstairs, provided a drop off/pick up point for parents on all three days, and the activities included trips to the Powell – Cotton Museum at Quex Park, Bowling at AMF, and Pick ‘n Paint a Pot in Cliftonville.

‘This was the first time we were able to provide activities for the group in the February Half-Term,’ comments Youth Coordinator Ange Brown, ‘With only 3 days available, we had to make each day count.

Thanks to KCC & Ladbrokes Charitable Trust for making the event happen, all staff & volunteers who didn’t stop moving, Forelands School for having us again, as they have hosted our Summer Club in the past, Keiko Higashi at the Powell – Cotton Museum, AMF Bowling Margate, and Teresa & Stuart at Pick ‘n Paint a Pot.’ EKM have also received funding from Kent County Council for a 5-day summer club between 18-22 August!

Margate’s Time Ball Margate’s Time Ball Restoration Ceremony will take place on Saturday 24 May, which is also Queen Victoria’s birthday Ralph Handscomb President of the Margate Civic Society says that they are immensely honoured that the following have accepted invitations to the Jubilee Clock Tower Time Ball Restoration Ceremony which will see the Time Ball dropping at one o’clock on Saturday 24th May for the first time in over 90 years.

Representing Her Majesty (to whom the Ceremony is dedicated in tribute to her Diamond Jubilee) will be Admiral The Lord Boyce KG etc who as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports succeeded Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Margate is a ‘Limb’ of Dover Cinque Port. In his naval career Lord Boyce commanded three submarines (HMS Oberon, Opossum and Superb) and the frigate HMS Brilliant.

He became First Sea Lord, Chief of the Naval Staff and Chief of the Defence Staff. He is also an Elder Brother of Trinity House and Chairman of the RNLI and there is a Margate connection in that he is currently Master of the Drapers City Livery Company. Lady Boyce will be accompanying her husband.

Accompanying Lord Boyce will be JONATHAN BETTS MBE who has recently been appointed Master of the Clockmakers City Livery Company. The Clockmakers received their Royal Charter from King Charles the Second in 1631 and are the world’s oldest surviving horological institute in the world. Their motto translates as ‘Time Lords It Over Everything’. Jonathan has been enthusiastic about the Time Ball Project from the start and in his capacity as Senior Curator in Horology at the Greenwich Royal Observatory (National Maritime Museum) entertained the Civic Society at Greenwich last year. He is an expert on marine timekeepers created by Jonathan Harrison in the eighteenth century (portrayed by Michael Gambon in ‘Longitude’), a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the British Horological Institute and the International Institute of Conservation.

The picture above shows Jonathan Betts, centre, as the new Master of the Clockmakers with Keith Scobie-Youngs as a Liveryman on the outside right. Keith is the Director of the Cumbria Clock Company who have restored the Time Ball mechanism.

Griff Rhys Jones (who is President of Civic Voice, the Federation of Civic Societies and also a Vice-President of the Victorian Society) visited the Clock Tower last summer and wrote an enthusiastic Foreword to Mike Bundock’s Clock Tower Book. He very much regrets he cannot attend the event as he is filming ‘somewhere in Africa’ but sent the following words of encouragement : ‘This is exactly the sort of project that warms the cockles of my heart and sets the blood stirring in my veins. It’s not a small thing. It’s a big gesture. And it shows that local Civic Societies are not just about protesting and complaining.

I salute the Margate Civic Society.’

Eddie Gadd of the Ramsgate Brewery is working on a Time Ball Commemoration Ale and he throws a launch party for new brews.

The Mayor of Margate will be invited to inaugurate the ale and there should be some ready at the Harbour Arms on 22 May. The Thanet Festival Choir is currently rehearsing Jubilations (a Last Night of the Proms style concert) for 4pm on Saturday 24 at the Theatre Royal, tickets £7.50.

TAG Pet Rescue TAG Pet Rescue is a registered charity that rescues and rehomes unwanted pets in and around Thanet.

Why rehome a rescue pet?

If you’ve had pets before, you’ll remember that feeling of bringing a new furry friend through your front door for the first time.

Watching them sniff around their new home and get adjusted, thinking ‘is this where I live now? Great!’ Having a pet who loves you unconditionally and wants nothing but cuddles, a warm bed and a nice meal can be so rewarding. Imagine if you rescued that pet from a rehoming centre knowing they needed your love and patience even more than most animals, after being abandoned, mistreated or simply given away?

Why TAG Pet Rescue?

At TAG, our mission is to care for and rehome as many animals as we can. We don’t receive government funding so we rely on donations, income from our shops and the tireless work of volunteers to keep the centre going; it’s a true labour of love!

We’ll pop by your house for a visit before you rehome one of our pets. This way everyone can be really confident that you, your home and your pet are a perfect match before making a decision.

• All of our cats, dogs and rabbits are spayed or neutered, something we feel very strongly about • Our cats and dogs are microchipped and the cats are vaccinated • Our cats and dogs are treated for fleas when they arrive at the centre • Our cats and dogs are all wormed and rabbits are inoculated again myxamotosis Please mention

Adam is just one of many cats at the sanctuary waiting for a good home My name is Adam and I am an affectionate 2 year old male Tabby cat.

Somebody said I look a bit grumpy in some of my pics but that could not be further from the truth, I am really gentle.

I came to TAG with my friend who was adopted earlier in the year. Her new owners came back for me a few months later but by then Evie had forgotten me and kept hissing at me. It really scared me to be honest so I ‘left home’. Luckily for me their neighbour did not mind that I crept in to her house and pinched some of her cat’s food!!! She was a lovely lady, however, that could not last for ever so they have brought me back to TAG to see if I can get a permanent home this time.

I hope you like my little poem that one of our volunteers wrote about me…

There is nothing like a pet To cheer you up and yet Be undemanding and loyal Look gorgeous sleek and royal Could you rescue me please You would love me with ease

St Peter-in-Thanet The 15th century tower, a striking Broadstairs landmark, is in need of urgent repair…can you help?

ST PETER’S CHURCH Reflecting nearly 1,000 years of history, the church was first built in 1070 and enlarged in the 12th century to include the south Aisle. The great pillars in the nave are late Norman and the massive Tower was built in the 15th century. For centuries this Church was the seat of local government and meetings were held in the old vestry, where Church wardens collected rates, discussed matters such as the highways and the destruction of vermin! In 1694, a school was set up in today’s Children’s corner with a bequest of £20 per year, to pay for a schoolmaster to teach 20 poor children.

PROPOSAL Provision within the Church for a much needed, additional cultural and educational facility for the town. This would make the Church more flexible and attract more tourists and other users. Establish cultural and educational facilities within the Church - pews have to be removed, portable seating installed which will result in the need for a new, far more energy-efficient heating system.

help. . .

THE TOWER Dating from the 15th Century, this is now a seriously endangered structure. Being the highest point in Thanet, the Tower was used as a signalling station by the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic wars and St Peter’s still claims the privilege to fly the White Ensign. The clock (the dial dates from 1802), historic bells and the important stained glass window are all part of the Tower and in need of urgent repair.

PROPOSAL Heritage preservation of Grade II* Listed building.

Tower Appeal CHURCH HALLS AND ST PETER’S VILLAGE The Church and its three halls (the first of which was opened by Mr Edward Heath in 1972) are the very hub of the village, but are in need of urgent updating. The complex benefits from a large car park and a well stocked Co-operative store, doctors’ surgery, a delightful village green which even includes a stocks for miscreants! Here also is the Red Lion Pub, one of the key stopping points on the widely attended and award– winning Village Tour. Weekly during the tourist season, the Tour guides some 1,000 visitors per annum between stands, manned by costumed characters. The churchyard, around which tours of historical interest are run, is the longest in Kent and includes a secluded memorial garden which is now full, so a new one is urgently needed to support the bereaved.

PROPOSAL Improvement of community service and social outreach for both the young and elderly. Refurbish and upgrade all three halls, for example kitchen improvements and disabled toilet facilities.

Also a new memorial garden needs to be established to support the bereaved.

THE TARGET FINANCIALLY The total target for this stage of the campaign is £500,000. A submission has been made to the Heritage Lottery Fund for £250,000 to repair the Tower, clock and window. Matched funding of at least 5% has to be raised, but we are pleased to record that the Parochial Church Council and the Friends of St Peter’s and St Andrew’s Churches have each donated £10,000 towards the overall sums required.

HOW YOU CAN HELP • Businesses can sponsor an event or make a donation to support this important community project in your area.

• Individual may consider a legacy and/ or a gift-aided donation soon-the Tower can’t wait! Donation and Gift Aid forms are available in the Parish Office.

The St Peter’s Fundraising campaign is being conducted under the auspices of the Parochial Church Council Committee (PCC) of St Peter’s Church (registered Charity No 1133847), Hopeville Avenue, St Peter’s, Broadstairs CT10 2TR. Unrestricted funds from the campaign will be prioritised to cover matched funding required for any Heritage Lottery Fund grant or other objects outlined in the fund. Funds raised will be applied towards the above objects. To the extent to which this is not possible, funds will be applied at the discretion of the PCC towards the charitable objects of St Peter’s Church.

Turner Contemporary 2014 Programme Making Painting Helen Frankenthaler and JMW Turner 25 January to 11 May 2014 Launches Turner Contemporary’s exceptional 2014 programme. Showcasing the work of the celebrated American Abstract Expressionist painter, Helen Frankenthaler alongside paintings by JMW Turner from

the 19th century, the exhibition includes 24 paintings by Frankenthaler, whose last public gallery exhibition in England was at the Whitechapel in 1969.

Mondrian and Colour 24 May to 21 September 2014

Turner Contemporary offers an exclusive UK viewing of the first exhibition to consider the significance of colour during Piet Mondrian’s early career. Mondrian and Colour explores Mondrian’s (1872-1944) practice, tracing the painter’s use of colour from figuration to early abstraction. Bringing together

around 50 paintings by the artist from the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and other collections in Europe and the USA, the exhibition will demonstrate that Mondrian’s abstract works were not simply mathematical exercises in form but also expressed his search for a new universal harmony.

Edmund de Waal produces new commission for Turner Contemporary Edmund de Waal: Atmosphere 29 March 2014 to 8 February 2015 A new installation by the renowned ceramic artist and author.

De Waal, who grew up in Canterbury and is best known for his large installations of porcelain vessels and the international bestselling book Hare with the Amber Eyes, showcases a major new commission for Turner Contemporary’s Sunley Gallery. This is the third commission produced for the Sunley Gallery following those by Maria Nepomuceno in 2012 and Daniel Buren in 2011.

For this ambitious project the artist has created an installation in response to the space, light and architecture of the Sunley Gallery with its double height windows and spectacular views over the North Sea. Atmosphere (2014) comprises a series of nine large, suspended vitrines that are in conversation with the mutable light from the sea.

Margate Football Bob Laslett

Chairman, Margate Football Club

It is a pleasure to be asked to write our first article to appear in the new Margate Community Newsletter. In this article I have set out to let you know more about me and what we are trying to achieve at Margate Football Club.

In December 2013, I became the majority shareholder of MFC. I used to attend Hartsdown Park with my Aunt Alice (back in 1954!) so when the opportunity to become involved with the Club I couldn’t ignore it.

I have recently been a Director at Wolverhampton Wanderers during their stint in the Premier League and my love for football is second to none.

Since I arrived we have appointed an experienced First Team Manager in Terry Brown, and we are building a squad of players that we are hoping can lead us to promotion in the 2014/2015 season, and we very much want the local Community to support us in this ambition and come with us on this challenging journey.

As of Friday 18 April supporters have been able to purchase our Early Bird season tickets. The Early Bird offer is the cheapest way to watch football at Hartsdown Park next season but be quick the offer only runs until Sunday May 18 2014.

We have also recently launched a new website which brings a fresh look 30

to our media side and we hope to expand that further in the near future. Why not take a look at the new site at www.margate-fc.co.uk I feel that reaching out to the local community is vital for any club but even more important for us with our opportunity to grow and develop and through our Early Bird season ticket offer and new Matchday entertainment we will be bringing our supporters; we hope it is a journey that you will join us on.

In the coming days, weeks and months you will see Margate Football Club start to build upon their already impressive work we do within the Community. With teams right down to under 6s we are passionate about developing talent from an early age and by having various teams right down to that age group we feel we are in the best position to be developing the kids of Thanet into the next big footballing stars. This is for boys and girls, everyone in the local community, come and join us.

Wayne Wilson our Head of Football in the Community is also working very hard to develop new ideas and forge links with the local community, and hopefully you will start to notice more of his fantastic work over the coming months.

In terms of Hartsdown Park we remain committed to bringing a Grade-A standard football stadium to Margate and conversations with the local council and residents are on-going.

In the meantime I hope to see you at Hartsdown Park in the very near future.

Club Wayne Wilson Head of Football in the Community

Margate Football Club continues to deliver some outstanding work in the Community and we hope over the coming weeks you will continue to see more of the work we hope to deliver to our local Community.

A Community is vital to any football Club and we know here at MFC just how passionate our local Community are about working as one. We recently delivered two fantastic Easter Soccer Schools at the Margate Football Club Five-a-side Centres and we hope to be bringing you more information on the Summer Holiday ones soon.

As part of my role as Head of Football in the Community I understand how important it is to get kids playing sport no matter what their age, gender or ability is. Sport should be fun and enjoyed by all so we really do cater for all needs at our school holidays events.

We are always looking for new ideas so if you have a plan as to how we can help the local Community then please get in contact via e-mail wayne.wilson@margate-fc.com, I would love to hear your suggestions.

Finally, we held our second round of trials for our MFC Academy a few weeks ago and alongside our new Apprenticeship scheme starting in August it is a really busy, but exciting time for us at Margate Football Club.
