Calling all vessel owners – historic, commercial and recreational! On the afternoon of Saturday 4 June 2022, the River Medway will play host to the Platinum Jubilee Medway River Pageant, featuring a parade from the lower reaches up to Sun Pier, Chatham and culminating with ‘The Great Cacophony’ – a wall of sound from ships to shore – the event will be a grand spectacle. If you are interested in taking part in the event, please register your interest no later than Friday 11 February.
The event is likely to be popular and, in order to maintain safe operations, there will be a restriction on the numbers taking part, so registration is not a guarantee of participation. The final event plan will be released once vessel registrations have been received and processed.
Sounds good but where do we all moor for the night ?.
There are free visitor moorings in “Rats Bay” immediately downstream from Sun Pier. They belong to Peel Ports but I don’t know how recently they were maintained. There is a dinghy rack on the pontoon. Why not join the meeting and ask Ed Gransden what provision is being made for mooring and coming ashore?
