Fitting out continues

While the new deck-house starts its work of protecting the aft companionway, although still waiting for its roof covering, the team are hard at work panelling the aft saloon deck-head. It is coming on nicely but they would welcome more help from anyone with appropriate skills.

More volunteers would also be welcome in the Visitor Centre on Saturdays or to help with running the project in other ways.

Call in and see us, email [email protected] or ring 01634 575717.

Busy Saturday

23/10/2019

The board was already at full stretch before the loss of these two Trustees and their responsibilities will have to be shared out as well. We need more people at the organisation level, whether trustees or volunteers, so brace yourselves for an onslaught of hints and requests for help! If you can help in any way with organisation, planning and management of the project please get in touch.

Saturday 19th October. A busy day with another Wheels of Time award and the society AGM.
Another Wheels of Time winner chose PS Medway Queen as the venue for his award presentation which we all take as a compliment. George is pictured (below) in the Visitor Centre with his award. Well done George!

On the same day the society AGM took place on board the ship. You can see from the photograph (left) how the aft saloon is progressing. Just look at that deckhead!

​A piece of bad news and a matter of concern is the loss  of two of our Trustees. Brian Goodhew stood down after very many years service, although you'll still see him in the Visitor Centre on Saturdays, and David Howells decided not to stand for re-election this year. He too will continue to be involved in the project as a volunteer.

Wheels of time scores again & again

5/10/2019

 
Saturday 28th September and FOUR more young visitors chose PS Medway Queen as the place to receive their Wheels of Time awards​. Congratulations to Joshua, Amelia, Ryan and Elliott.

The Wheels of time programme has made a noticeable difference to our visitors in both numbers and age range. It is really encouraging to see the younger generation taking an interest in our ship and her history, and a great tribute to our Saturday Team that so many of them have chosen us as the attraction to re-visit when collecting their awards. 

Thanks to Joe Stokes for the photographs below:.
