Morning all, As well as being a lifelong Town fan, I’m also an officer onboard HMS Medway, the Royal Navy’s newest warship. The ship is in Chatham this week for the purpose of being formally commissioned into the fleet, as well as to become affiliated with the Medway area. As part of this, my crew will be marching through Chatham on Saturday morning to receive the Freedom of the Town. A parade/ceremony will be conducted on the crossroads between High Street and Military Road (town centre of Chatham) at 1100. I’m aware that we’re taking a large away following to Gillingham, so it would be great to have some of you come and watch, if you fancy popping along. My crew will then also be attending the match in uniform and there will be a feature on us in the programme (GFC will become our affiliated football club). I must say that the hospitality and welcome we’re receiving from GFC is phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing the ITFC following on Saturday. | |
