Comperes John Worrow, a parish councillor, and Ralph Hoult, entertainments manager at Ramsgate’s Granville Theatre, will host the show. To audition for a spot at the July 31 event potential performers need to decide on which of four categories they want to apply for.<br /><br />They are: the young Michael, the older Michael, The Jackson Five group and the Michael non lookalike (music tribute category). To get involved call Cllr John Worrow on 07847303256 or Julie Francis on 01843 841796. <br /><br />Cllr Worrow said: “We expect this to be a fun event for all the family.” The Birchington Village Partnership are staging the show.<br /><br />The winners of the tribute competition will get to perform at Birchington Village Partnership's Outdoor Event at Minnis Bay on Sunday, September 20 and the Starlite Entertainers dance act will also entertain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-43237103110642514452009-07-03T21:01:57.905+01:002009-07-03T21:01:57.905+01:00Bertie if possible could you help us to tell peopl...Bertie if possible could you help us to tell people about the following event to be posted right after this post<br /><br />thanks TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-88680767764845542602009-07-03T20:48:13.694+01:002009-07-03T20:48:13.694+01:00keep your hair on Bertie but we all agree with you...keep your hair on Bertie but we all agree with your comments, that is why we visit! think it is only a cronie visiting so he can report back but couldnt resist a dig?

Why should someone who already has more than generous holiday benefits and uncontrolled time off sick be allowed a gold plated pension when the rest of us aren't? In the past it has been argued that local government officers are paid less than those in the private sector, the same cannot be said now, so why not start to change the terms of the pension to cover the deficits,those in the private sector in our declining years are going to be looking at the retired local government officers whilst we are still working to keep them in their mode of retirement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-25291151443222238612009-07-03T11:41:35.670+01:002009-07-03T11:41:35.670+01:00This info is only published to keep the likes of y...This info is only published to keep the likes of you bloggers and a Mr kircaldi busy and off the streets.

I understand that most of that car park is exclusively for TDC employees in which they can park their TDC-funded vehicles.<br /><br />I can accept cars are needed for staff whose work takes them out and about but for office-based workers when the offices are sited by several maain bus routes to/from most of Thanet, can this be justified?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-42149031594985982762009-07-03T07:50:04.435+01:002009-07-03T07:50:04.435+01:00With regard to 'Related Party Transactions'...With regard to 'Related Party Transactions' and the companies involved, surely this is a matter of public interest and the facts should be made available.
