Maidstone I remember it well: My father - Dr. Alan Warren - was a long term member of Maidstone Golf Club and Captain for a while back in the late '50s. The 9 hole course in Bower mount Road has now gone. I well remember that for a number of years they had an annual dance at Tudor House Hotel and got Victor Sylvester and his well known Band Orchestra to play for the evening. My father was amazed that the band cost £60/hr to hire !!

Maidstone I remember it well: Back in the '50s/'60s a wage of £20/week would have been pretty good so to have to pay Victor Sylvester £60/hr (even though there were probably 20 players in his orchestra) was a lot of money ! Maybe by 2063 a standard salary will be at least £200,000/year !! I'll let you know when I get there !!
