008 APRIL NEWS /IndexMagazineTW @CanterburyIndex Whitefriars’ next top models revealed
on digital screens across the Canterbury shopping centre as well as online. Entrants aged five and over were invited
W
to send in a recent photo to be judged by a team of retail marketing experts. More than 100 entries were received and judges had a hard time choosing overall winners to appear in the show, which was filmed at The Marlowe Theatre Studio in Canterbury on 4th March. Julie Holness, Whitefriars Marketing
Manager, said: “This was a great opportunity for local aspiring models to participate in a professional fashion event. It gave participants valuable modelling experience and exposure without them feeling intimidated by a live show and audience. The resulting images of our retailers’ spring/ summer fashions have also been used to create a style guide which is available for free download from the Whitefriars website (
www.whitefriars.co.uk). They will also be displayed on vertical banners throughout the shopping centre over the spring period.” Winning models received a set of
professional digital photos, a video of the show and some Whitefriars goodies, including a £50 shopping voucher. The winning child and adult models
were: Claire Aldred; Karen Isaac; Sagana Jeyarajah; Lauren Knight; Madison Williams; Arthur Clague; Toby Cordes; Jude Lanstone; Alex Lineham and Tony Mardon.
Our ancient Roman past set to be unearthed
Hopes have been expressed by Canterbury Archaeological Trust of finding Roman remains at the former Slatters Hotel site in the centre of the city. Joint project manager Alison Hicks confirmed that initial dig work had unearthed medieval finds, as well as the prospect of far older material on the site. Offering an update on its progress, she said the trust believed there were
some “remarkable remains” to be found there by its teams, given the fact that the city’s Roman Theatre is known to lie under the junction of Watling Street, Castle Street and St Margaret’s Street. Alison added that a wall dating to the Roman era of occupation in the city has already been found, which had given the dig team further optimism for a far wider range of finds. She added that the team was hoping to also discover finds from the Anglo-Saxon period, as it is known that the ancient Roman theatre survived long after their departure from the city surrounding the decline of the Empire. • The Canterbury Archaeological Trust is expected to be on the site for the next six months, with live camera updates available at

CHARITY CAUSE OF THE MONTH Folkestone Coastal 10k
Entrants for this year’s Folkestone Coastal 10k charity fundraising event are being sought. The non-competitive run takes place on 27th May and starts from the seafront at Folkestone, heads towards Hythe and then returns, whilst taking in the beautiful coastal scenery that the area has to offer. It is a flat promenade route, chip- timed, traffic-free and a great race for those who are relatively new to running, but also for those more experienced
runners looking for a personal best. The event will be supporting local
and international charitable causes, and participants are encouraged to run for their chosen charity. Last year, more than £30,000 was raised. As Race Director Ray Johnson explains, those entering can choose to take part for either a specific named charity, or other individual cause. Teams and fancy dress entries are also welcome. • Visit
