I have visited some schools whoever wants me will get a visit! There were so many they would not have fitted in the council chamber, so I met them outside on the harbour. Another group of younger children came later, again they. Ch Another group of older young people from a school in Conflans came and were met on the beach by a group from Hereson and Ellington School where they had a picnic. This is where twinning comes in useful! On Christmas Eve, myself and my deputy Cllr Dwyer-King delivered a tin of chocolates to the staff at the Thanet District Council office in York Street, as a thank-you for their help to residents through the year.
Later that day I delivered a box of biscuits to the police office, again as a thank-you. On Christmas Day the Mayoress and I paid a visit to a care home, spoke to the residents, then went on to the fire station with biscuits, hoping for a cuppa and a chat. They were not in! We then visited the ambulance station, again with biscuits, where we did get a coffee and a piece of delicious cake. We spoke to the helpers and had a photo taken. I am trying to be involved in the Dynamo. Our history shows we will never be down for long, the only way is up, and we shall reach the top of any tree we aspire to climb.
I could go on forever, but I close with my best wishes for the future and wish you all health, happiness and prosperity for the coming year. Together we can succeed. Pat Moore Mayor of Ramsgate. Day presentations. This is very important to Ramsgate as we were one of the ports into which the Little Ships came. In fact, we have in the harbour our very own ship, the Sundowner, which went to Dunkirk and brought back men. The man who went out with his ship was Charles Lightoller, last surviving officer of the Titanic!
My father-in-law was brought off the beaches at Dunkirk to Ramsgate, where they were given tea and a sandwich, and put on a train to an army base. This is all good advertising for Ramsgate. I hope we can all show up at various celebrations to make this a day to remember, as it may not happen again. As mayor I have been to many events to represent you. I have enjoyed every minute, even in freezing cold churches, sometimes three events a day. I have given history lessons to anyone who asks, I only stop when their eyes glaze over and they lose the will to live!
Ramsgate is unique, we should all be very proud of what we have here and what we have achieved after losing employment on the Sally Line and Transeuropa. On Wednesday 20 May there will be a church service at In the afternoon approx 2. Clean, tidy and quality finishes guaranteed.

How long have you lived in Ramsgate? Nearly 10 years, moved down in Why did you start helping the local community? I was always interested in sport, previously as a professional fighter, later I became a Taekwondo coach. I greatly enjoy getting involved in the local community and knowing that I have made a difference. What are your earliest memories of Ramsgate?
What are your ambitions? There is not anything I would like more than to see one of my students compete at the Olympic Games. What are you currently working on or towards in Ramsgate?
I voluntarily run an Olympic Taekwondo sports club in Ramsgate. Why did you start this current project? I love sport, especially Taekwondo, and enjoy working with children so I put two and two together and now I can proudly say that I run a successful sport club. Where did you get the idea to start this? What can Ramsgate look forward to from you in the future?
I am sure we, as a club, will represent Ramsgate at national and international arenas during Taekwondo competitions. How do you feel your contribution has helped or made a difference to Ramsgate? I can see the positive impact sport has for young people, especially mentally with self-confidence and self-discipline. Many of our children have various physical disabilities and I like to think that sport has helped them with not only their coordination and core body strength, but also their confidence and attitudes. Where do you see yourself helping the community in a years time?
I see myself running sport sessions for young people from difficult backgrounds. I would like to make a difference. Richard has been restoring and dealing in furniture since He has worked in Harrods antique furniture department, where he was lucky enough to meet some interesting and amazing people. He has been a self-employed furniture restorer for 27 years, which is how he met Ruth, who has been working alongside him restoring furniture for the past 15 years.
This seemed like a perfect project for us to sink our teeth into. Kevin has mostly been involved in the construction industry and owns several businesses - he supplies and restores pool tables and juke boxes for hotels, pubs and clubs. The warehouse we have chosen in Dumpton Park Drive caught our eye because of its attractive Edwardian facade.
