• Folkestone – The SUP Hub Based in Folkestone Harbour, teacher Claudia Carney reckons SUP is excellent for your core stability, low impact, and makes you feel great to be outside. India Pearson’s Yoga SUP takes this to another level. Her lessons focus so much on the board, your mind clears and all your muscles engage. “It’s the ultimate workout,” she says, “but when your fi ngers touch the water and the sun is on your body, it’s also the ultimate relaxation.” The SUP Hub also offers lessons and tours in Hythe. Lessons are not suitable for U8s, and you must be able to swim 50m. Visit

Thanet tourism sector boosted by new forum
A tourism forum for volunteers in Thanet has been established for businesses to share knowledge, skills and joint working opportunities. The event at Margate Museum was organised by the Thanet Volunteer Bureau, and was funded by Thanet District Council’s Coastal Communities (CCF) funded project ‘Discover Thanet’s Coast’.
The forum had been devised after
feedback from delegates attending volunteer management training (also funded by the CCF project) that getting together and sharing best practice and skills would be benefi cial.
A wide range of tourism businesses attended including Margate Museum, Thanet Coastal Wardens, Drapers Windmill, Monkton Nature Reserve, Margate Town Team, Ramsgate Visitor Information Centre, Margate Civic Society, and Tudor House.
Ian Dickie, Margate Museum and
Tudor House Co-ordinator, explained the new forum would have a positive impact for the area, saying: “We have all worked in the dark for so long, it’s great at a forum like this where we come into the light and all work together. It’s so important to network and share our knowledge and skills.”
