Meet the architects
For anyone interested, in the future of Turner contemporary, they may glean, some idea of what we are about to receive in terms of architecture, from the architect's Chipperfield as chosen for us, by the great and good from the Arts Council, KCC, etc

This talk will be given at Margate media centre, King Street, Wednesday 11th October@18: 00 I suggest that if you are interested that you contact Turner Contemporary on 01843 294337 pronto as I understand there are only 80 seats available and one of them is mine, demand is expected to be high, as leading members of the Margate regeneration crew, will doubtless wish to be seen.

I believe that it is unlikely, that there will be any nibbles available, unlike the exclusive VIP meeting held at Droit House, (as reported by Arts and Elbows) where at least one ravenous council officer, was apparently spotted grazing at the exclusive buffet.

Its some measure of the town's deprivation, that Turner contemporary feel it necessary to feed starving big wigs, I did ring and ask what this was all about, apparently it had something to do with hospitality for the French artists involved in their current exhibition, and a team of French embassy officials, it would be nice to think that these people had a sample of traditional English food, perhaps they could have sent out, to Pete's fish factory, over the road for cod and chips, pickled onions and pea fritters, unfortunately the photograph in the Arts and Elbows story is not clear enough to determine what these visitors were offered? sausages on sticks, Scotch eggs, quiche or even the humble pork pie, lets just hope they didn't go native and offer Froggy food.
