As the 2007 Whitstable Oyster Festival comes to a close we would like to say a very big Thank-You to everyone who was involved in the Festival, as a participant, event producer, partner, sponsor, resident or visitor.

When all the reviews, attendance numbers and coverage of the Festival is fully analysed it looks certain to equal or surpass the record breaking 2006 Festival.

There is still more to come in terms of photographic records and the seeds of ideas implemented during the past nine days that will yet flourish into benefits for the people of Whitstable.

On top of this, we all had a helluva good time!

The Whitstable Oyster Festival Association will be arranging a meeting in early September where those involved can be thanked personally and those thinking of getting involved can also join in to discuss the way forward to WOF2008, the 2008 Whitstable Oyster Festival.

This meeting will also be the last that Art Hewitt, the Festival Co-ordinator for the past three Festivals, attends in his role before he moves on to new challenges. We are sure that the many friends that Art has made among the people of Whitstable would like the opportunity of showing their appreciation of the fantastic job he has done for us and to wish him the very best for the future.
