This sounds fun if you're in start up or just like networking and (ew) actually meeting people instead of just anonymously commenting on a web page:
Open Quarter 2014 kicks off on Friday 20 June 4-7pm with a new edition to the programme Connecting Creatives business to business event.
A chance for you to come and meet the local creative businesses and entrepreneurs that are shaping Folkestones economic future and making the Creative Quarter a vibrant place to live and work.
Businesses will give a 2 minute presentation about what they do, then join us in the bar for mingling, network and a well-earned beverage! Businesses confirmed so far include:
- The Workshop
- Glassworks
- School for Creative Start Ups
- The Foundry
- Creative Foundation
- Qreatives
- Davis 2 Davis
- Martello BC
- Bedonwell Counselling
- Charlton Athletic Community Trust
Then the rest of the weekend becomes a playground of open studios, family friendly workshops and delicious food and drink on offer. We look forward to seeing you.

This is my website The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places + things, + I hear it was a handy resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
