Hear some Tales of the (Medway) Riverbank from Dave Burton at Newington History Group's meeting on Thursday, June 14, at 7:30pm in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane. The Gillingham historian's illustrated talk will reveal his considerable knowledge of the Medway estuary.
If you're interested in researching your family history you can seek advice by visiting the group's tent at the village festival on Saturday, July 7, on the school field between noon and 6:00pm.
Come and share stories and memories of local life. You'll also be able to find out more about the group and its varied activities, including the Heritage Open Days (September 8-9) and WWI centenary commemorations (November 11).
Join us in unearthing, preserving and promoting the history of the village and neighbouring areas. Newington History Group meets monthly on the second Thursday and an annual subscription is £15. Guests (£3) are welcome at the meetings.
