GREAT NEWS

15/2/2015

 
The Medway Queen Preservation Society is pleased to announce that through the efforts of their Patron, Admiral Lord West of Spithead, they have secured the sum of £15,000 from the Gosling Foundation which was founded by Rear Admiral Sir Donald Gosling KCVO Kt.    This sum is to enable the Medway Queen to attend the Ramsgate 75th Anniversary Commemorations of the evacuation of the Troops off the beaches of Dunkirk in May 1940, code named Operation Dynamo.

Mr Brain Burton, Chairman of the Medway Queen Preservation Society said, "This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the Medway Queen and all of the hard work that has been done so far.   The Society thanks Lord West and Sir Donald for their decisive support".

AN UNUSUAL DONATION

15/2/2015

 
Morrison's Supermarkets have kindly donated the "Medway Queen" Pub Sign to the Society.    The sign once stood in the car park of the Public House, The Medway Queen, in Street End Road, Chatham but the  lease of the property was sold in 2013  by Enterprise Inns to Morrison's,   who planned to build a mini supermarket on the site.   Thank you Morrison's for such an unusual  and interesting gift.
