Wateringbury Boat Trip
/On June 14th, yet another rainy day in June, we dressed up for our boat trip from Wateringbury. Our journey to the boat was dismal with strong winds and rain, however by the time we boarded and were ready to set sail the weather improved and the sun came out. We had a lovely couple of hours travelling along the Medway, enjoying the scenery on the way. We cannot wait to do the trip again next year.

Jack Roots Medal Presentation
/On Thursday 17th March 2016 we were very proud to hold a party for Jack Roots to celebrate him being presented with the Legion d'honneur by the Mayor of Gravesham Cllr Mick Wenban. This medal is Frances highest honour and was awarded to Jack for his part in towing a floating harbour to Normandy's worn torn coast on D-Day. The Legion of Honour medal was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 as Frances highest award. Jack was surrounded by family and friends for what was a very emotional occasion.
