Educational Services from the Medway Queen Preservation Society

For schools studying World War Two

BACK TO SCHOOL

Full marks to the Educational Sub-Group and their offer to schools to give talks on the Medway Queen’s involvement at Dunkirk.  These talks fit nicely with the school curriculum on World War Two at both Primary and Secondary level.  The talks also give us the opportunity to bring children up to date on what they can look forward to in the future in the shape of school visits to the Ship.

Gill Ellen is our “school ma’am” and gives an excellent presentation using the most modern school computer equipment.  The diary is nearly full, with twenty schools already booked for the coming year.

This year has also seen a surge in bookings for talks to adults – retirement clubs, WI and Probus being among the most popular.  Our team is Brian Goodhew, Gill Ellen, Joe Stokes, but it is Mark and Pam Bathurst I would like to give a special mention to.  They live in Margate but are willing to travel to give their talks.  This year they have included Hertfordshire, Surrey and South Croydon in their travels, as well as their own area in Thanet.

The Medway Queen Archive Department is ably operated by John Chambers, and new premises were acquired recently for John to work from.  If you have any photos from the past taken on board the Medway Queen that you think would be of interest to John please contact him on 01634 252848.
