Tim Prater

Thank you for all the suggestions which have come from many people drawing upon diverse inspirations including famous ex-residents, location, history and even a previous park keeper. The list has been moderated to produce a manageable list (including the current name Military Road Recreation Ground) for a vote as follows:-

To vote please click against the email address for the name you prefer (or copy and paste the email address into your own email) and give your name and postal address in the email. Only one vote per person or business in Sandgate parish will be accepted.

Closing date for voting Friday 31st March 5pm.

You may also vote in person at Sandgate Library – ask for the parish clerk.

Any queries please email the parish clerk clerk@sandgatepc.org.uk

The Sandgate Creative Writers Group (which meets in the Library on the second Thursday of the month), would like all creative authors and poets to enter the Creative Writer’s Competition.

If you would like a chance to be included in the club’s booklet in August this year and have your work displayed on Writer’s Page in the library, please submit poetry or prose, no more than 450 words in total. Your entry can either be left in the library or emailed to joe.tom277864@tiscali.co.uk.

Your work will be read and judged by members of Sandgate Creative Writers. The top three will be included in the club’s booklet in August this year.

If you have anything over that amount but no more than two thousand words and would like it evaluated please bring it to one of the meetings where members will be pleased to read and discuss it with you.
