All gardens in the Parish that can be viewed from the front of your home will be judged on Saturday the 20th of July 2019.

The Overall Winner will look after the Barbara Webb Memorial Rose Bowl for 1 year.

To the Swimming Pool… and Beyond!

Dive into summer with Disney-inspired family fun swimming sessions at Splashes.

Families are invited to take part in the sessions which will feature activities inspired by Swim England’s essential swimming skills and some of Disney’s most-loved characters.

Kick off this summer with games inspired by the new release of Disney Pixar’s Toy Story 4, sessions will feature activities inspired by the magic of Disney storytelling.

Cllr Howard Doe, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community Services, said: “These swim sessions are a good way of encouraging children to have fun, and become more active, over the summer holidays. Swimming is a key life skill and the activities will help build on children’s skills to help them become stronger swimmers. Medway has excellent sporting facilities and I would encourage residents to visit their local sports centre and find out what’s on offer, especially over the summer.”

The activities are suitable for children aged 3 to 11 and take place at Splashes in Bloors Lane, Rainham, from 10:30am to 11:15am on Saturdays throughout the summer. Costs £5 per child. To book visit Splashes, call: 01634 333977 or visit: www.medway.gov.uk/splashes
