I have thought more about the area I am covering with this website and I have consulted with a number of friends who have been supporting me through the development and have come up with a map.

Basically is covers Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas and picks up the major venues in the region; this has been partly achieved by creating a satellite around the Hop Farm. I expect the area shown in pink to have pretty good coverage as I am more aware of what is going on here but will include what I can find out from in the blue area.
I do not see this as a hard and fast rule I will adapt the boundarys as circumstance dictate!
Have been thinking about the area I should cover with this site. How far out should I go.
Here is a map which highlights my intended area. It covers all the places you would consider to be Tunbridge Wells plus the satelites (Southborough, Pembury, Rusthall and Langton Green) and the two Tunbridge Wells villages of Speldhurst and Bidborough.

The question is have I gone too far, or have I missed out some key venue. Any comments welcome.
The site is now one week old! Seems longer!
In that time I have added a lot of the core functions a site like this needs. Basically the ability to find the events that interest you. The three key factors are all covered. Genre, venue and date. At some point it is my intention to add a more complex search.
I have just added a news and review section (if you're reading this then you know). So if anyone attends one of our events and would like to submit a review it would help me tremendously.
I have also added over 200 events happening in Tunbridge Wells. Mostly in September and October but also some for November and December. Ultimately this site will live and die by it's content so I am in the process of making contact with key venues to ensure I can keep my data up-to-date. At the moment most of the data has been gathered from public sources and while I am trying to keep abreast of changes I will inevitably miss some key events and some cancellations. I therefore recommend you always check with a venue or organiser before heading off to an event!
Statistically the site has progressed quite well. In the week since launch the site has had over 150 unique visitors, has achieved 4th position in Google for the key search phrase 'Tunbridge Wells Events' and the Twitter account has over 60 followers (mostly local people).
I am very encouraged by the response to what I have done so far. I have had many messages of support and offers of help. I will be taking these up as my plans develop. Most of this has been through Twitter but there is now a contact form on the site which can be used to submit comments and reviews and details of events.
So thanks to everyone who has supported me so far and lets see how this develops...
I decided yesterday that Tunbridge Wells needed an events listing service. So here is a start.
I don't know where this journey will lead but it is my intention that the site will grow in function and content over the coming weeks and months. If you have any ideas please send through the contact form.
