Margate, In Red and Green.
A story of football and apples.

 

Mike is a volunteer researcher for the Channel Museum. He was born and raised in Margate, and still there in retirement. Growing up, he was surrounded by red and green. The red and green of apples, and the red and green on the Margate Football Club.

 

Mike will provide a brief history of the apple industry and football in the Channel. The main focus will be on sharing his memories and linking those to exhibits on display in the Museum. His talk will move to and from the Library, and the relevant exhibits within the Museum.

Mike has suggested it be promoted as a red and green theme night with atttendees wearing something red or green.
