From Document written 11th November 2015
As time passes some old information needs to deleted from the website or it simply gets to busy. This however is an interesting document worth preserving,. It goes back to 11th November 2015 and really marks the beginning of The Rusthall Arts Festival. It lays out the original aims and objectives, and the mission statement, and whilst they may change over the course of time it's always a good idea to revisit the original intentions. There was also some really helpful advice gathered from the individuals at the meeting, which if I remember correctly was in Karen Gardner's studio at the top of her house.
