BexleyKev Jul 2019 4:05pm, 16 Jul 2019 395 posts	Quote Pin BexleyKev Don't really understand why the naming of an event would cause any more problems now than in the past. It seems more logical now, those local to the area will know where the venue is. Naming convention following the council/borough name as in the past is more likely to confuse - eg Greenwich. Bromley. Bexley. Orpington. Dartford - none of which give an idea ( even to locals ) where they are located within the borough.
