Kino adds to the festival fare
Rye's new Kino cinema is rapidly settling into the community, with a children's day last week, jazz films and a terrace recital this weekend, a series of talks during next month's Arts Festival, and a range of special showings, including live drama, ballet and even rugby union
Andrew now has time to paint
Whilst juggling employment (as an architect and gallery owner) and voluntary roles (with the Conservation Society and the Art Gallery in Rye), Andrew Blyth's ambition has always been to devote more time to his real love - painting - and is now largely focussing on developing new creative ideas. Dee Alsey in her "Ryers Unwrapped" series finds out more. Three of Andrew's works (watercolours of Dungeness scenes) can be seen in the Rye Society of Arts Summer Exhibition 10:30am-5:30pm daily until August 31 in the Dance Hall behind the Conduit Hill Community Centre

Planes equal people equal parking problems, even if in some distant future high speed Javelin trains went direct to Lydd. Charles Harkness looks at the numbers again
Lamb butchered by mistake
In the latest edition of his Beer & Skittles history of Rye pubs, David Russell tells the story of the town's most infamous murderer
Caravanners come to town again
