On what was probably the wettest and windiest July day ever, a few brave (or mad!) souls turned out for the 2011 Folkestone Festival. Kent Coast and 2 from Kent branch showed great dedication and braved the awful weather to support the Wind & Fire Bike Club stand. But as we know, God is good, and the great conversations we had with many of their members made the day so worthwhile. Once again we leave these seeds we planted with God.
