Why A Summer Squall in Ramsgate?
Well, a squall is a wind, a gust, a disturbance, a commotion. It is something blowing strongly for a brief period, it’s sudden, it’s loud, it’s a rumpus. It is a word that is totally part of the sailing traditions and maritime history of the town and it fits our summer burst of artistic energy, creativity, noise and commotion as planned!
