A quick reminder that Medway Queen West will be at the South West Ship Show on Saturday with the full range of "Medway Queen" books, the PS Ryde book (of course) and other selected items. We are reducing our range of seaside souvenirs so ornamental model boats etc. will be available at tempting prices. We have a few second hand maritime books and the GSN 00 wagons. We also have a quantity of Atlas 1/1200 warship models for sale.
Come and see us at: SOUTH WEST SHIP SHOW Saturday, 2 April 2022 10.00am - 3.30pm BAWA Social Club, 589 Southmead Road, Filton, BRISTOL, BS34 7RG If you are a MQPS member and would like to help at occasional events this would be an ideal time for a chat!
Other guests including the Mayor of Dover, Cllr Gordon Cowan and Town-Sergeant Mr David Hunt-Cooke; The Mayor of Swale, Cllr Paul Stephen and the Chair of the River Parish Council Clive Taylor and his wife Jill, participated in the 2022 launch. The guests were able to meet with representatives of many of the 53 Museums and Heritage sites that are now part of the scheme at stalls they had set up over two floors of the Crabble Corn Mill site; who are one of the participating sites. The sites collected supplies of Roamin' Rex's 2022 Map (now a 12-page booklet) and supplies of badges and lanyards. Children visiting a site can collect a badge and can earn Roamin’ Rex’s ‘Bronze Award Badge’ by collecting 10 badges from different sites, a ‘Silver Award Badge’ for 20, the ‘Gold Award Badge’ for 30, the ‘Platinum Award Badge’ for 40 and for those that collect all 53 badges there’s a special 2022 Wheels of Time Award Badge. Visitor badges are FREE. Normal entry fees apply to each museum or heritage site. Medway Queen is open on Saturdays from 11am to 4pm (last admissions 3pm) Opening dates and times and entry costs for all sites can be found on the website: https://wheelsoftime.uk/ Wheels of Time is a partnership of the participating museums and heritage sites developed to encourage children and their families to explore heritage sites in Kent. Comments from parents include “We have all learnt so much and explored places we didn't know existed”.
The scheme receives valuable support from Kent Children’s University (KCU) through many of the sites being accredited as Learning Destinations and inclusion of visit a Wheels of Time site as an activity for KCU challenges. Children registered with Children’s University can collect 0.5 to 1 Learning Credit at any Wheels of Time site and more at those that are validated Learning Destinations.
