Kent Holiday and Leisure Show

8/4/2019

 
Picture
This is the fourth year that Medway ​Queen has been represented at the Holiday and Leisure Show. Previously the show was held in Dover, but has now moved to the County Showground at Detling.  This is a more central location and has resulted in a substantial increase in exhibitors and visitors. A record of 1837 members of the public attended the show this year. There were stands from all aspects of the leisure industry, including holiday and travel companies, as well as a wide variety of visitor attractions mostly based in the Kent Area.
Our display included photographs, artefacts, books and publicity material as well as a “loop” of  photographs and movie footage displayed on a monitor.  Many visitors showed interest in our exhibition and Pam and I were able to use the occasion to publicise our restoration work and to encourage visitors to come to see the ship.  We also used the opportunity to promote our presentations and we expect to hear from various societies who would like us to visit their group, with a view to giving our talk and showing our “Power Point” production.  In past years we have been engaged by a number of different organisations, whose representatives have seen us at this event.  ​
