  3. Whitstable Sites
  4. Simply Whitstable Dave and Chris Taylor's fantastic site is justifiably popular and I am inordinately envious. Recently updated, The Taylor household has evidently been busy of late....

    Whitstable Rugby Club Whilst never having had the bottle to actually join the club, I did help take their first set of posts from the Nottidge to Columbia Avenue. Anyway, the club has it's own site now.

    St. Mary's Catholic Primary School Since I started this site, a number of schools have created a presence. This is the local Catholic school.
