The website for this weekends Christmas Dickens lists a load of parades etc, and times when they happen, but no dates.

Are we to assume the same schedule happens both days?

It's years since I went so I can't remember what they usually do!

Is 450 pcm for a single room in medway is a worthy deal?

I am looking for people who might be interested in getting involved in an ongoing DnD group. I am thinking of either running vanilla DnD or trying the Lord of The Rings for DnD stuff.
I am happy to host at my home in Strood, and ideally looking for a mixed group of guys and gals. So if you're interested and want to give it a try, then drop me a message and tell me a little about yourself, any experience etc and we can go from there. You can even use it as an excuse to drag that friend who you've been trying to get involved to play.

I cant wait to hear from you

hello all, resposting on this group, anyone in the area doing a daily commuting (3x a week) to London using the train route to abbeywood station? how was your experience? is the service reliable if you have a season flexi ticket?

Thank you!

Does anyone know if the council is considering creating cycle paths and overall making the Medway area cycle friendly? If not, is there a way to petition the council to consider it?

Hello, I am moving to Rochester soon and am curious if there are any farmers markets going on or shops to buy fresh food: bread, fruit, veg locally produced. Also any zero waste shops, for detergents, pantry staples and so on? I have stayed over a few times and the co-op I visited was lacking in quality and fresh food. Thank you!

Does anyone know of any darts teams looking for a new player? I'm newish to the area and looking for a more local team.

A new career option. Young people of diverse backgrounds - tell all the stories of Medway people.

As title says.

Had a tough injury at the start of this year so I am now looking to get back into my gym and fitness routines properly!

I am 23 M, I don’t mind who wants to join in! Just please no weirdos!

I enjoy running / swimming / cycling as well as upper body gym workouts, I love a leg day! Also play football too so could incorporate some football training if you’d like! I’m already in decent shape I just need to get back to the body I had before my injury! & I have a holiday summer of 2025!

But yeah for some reason I really find finding motivation difficult when I am going to the gym on my own, I’m not sure whether it is anxiety or what. I have adhd but I’m not sure that affects it tbh.

I am based in Chatham currently but can travel to most gyms as I drive! Don’t be shy to hmu!

hello good people of medway, can you share your experiences on your internet providers and which one you think is best (speed and cost) we are based on ME1 area.

Providers we are looking at are:

-Aquiss -Zen Internet -Plusnet

I'm 16 in Year 11 doing GCSEs this year, predicted 9 9 7 7 9 8 7 7 8 7 9, for Maths, Further Maths, English Lit., English Lang., Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Spanish, Geography, Computing, Music. Despite high grades, the only thing I'm interested in is music. I'm in a band, everything I do in my free time is music, and realistically it's all I wanna do as a career. People say I have a load of talent and I don't want it to go to the waste.

I don't want to do A-levels, because then music won't be my main focus since I'll be doing music, maths, further maths, and psychology. Instead I want to go to a college to study music on it's own. The only really local place is MidKent but I keep hearing mixed things, both about it being the best and the worst choice I could make for music. So I'm wondering if anyone could say how good it is really, just so I can have a better idea of where I should go.

I’ve been going to CEX for years now. I personally believe the one in Pentagon is the best, but I’m curious what you all think!

Hello guys, do you know any place where you can meet new friends (late 20s, early 30s)?

I've checked MeetUp but there isn't anything happening in Kent. The only place that comes to my mind is Playopolis in Rocheter. Have anybody been there, is it good to meet new people?

Hello

i have watched a video recently that talked about how the french make excellent bread, and i am looking for a place around here that makes it in that style, is there a place that people here know of that sells the genuine article?

thank you for reading.

Hi fellow Medway people.

My friends and I grew up in Medway and our local haunt of a weekend was Rochester high Street. Next month, we are all heading back to meet up for a night out but have no idea of where to go in Rochester.

I know the Rochester Weatherspoons is actually better than most branches but I was hoping there might be other, more interesting, places to go to.

If you have any suggestions that could be suitable for a bunch of middle-aged men who like to talk nonsense while drinking beer, let me know.

P.S. no, we do not want to go to casino! :)

Been here for 2 months and have only had a one problem with Arriva busses before today. Incidentally also the 116. It simply never showed up. Happened at 2 different stops and the Arriva app seems to think it is on time. I was definitely at the correct stops (other people were also waiting and frustrated). Is there a more accurate way to know about issues other than the Arriva app or Google Maps?

Anyone know if there is a fireworks display at the great lines this year?

Hello, putting this here too in the hopes something comes of it.

I have 2 black cats, sisters. one named Marlene has currently been missing for a week. she is around a year and a half old and has a small tuffed of white fur on her chest. greenish yellow eyes. She is nervous around new people.

She is chipped and local vets have been made aware. She is from around the Rainham area, specifically around the streets off of upper station road passed the train tacks. so Solomon, high dewer, thompson and potentially the main road area.

please Message me with any information you might have.

After working down here for 2 years we've had a full 4 weeks of there being no roadworks on my route to work.

I know this is a bit unconventional however I was wondering if anyone on here had or could point me to some online sources/ images of chatham high street (specifically 266) and old auction rooms on Rhode Street. Any information will be greatly appreciated guys Thank you!!

I’m not sure how much interest this will get but I am starting a local community group for dungeons and dragons. It is based on discord and is for players and DMs to get together to play games short or long term in person or online! Let me know if you would like to be added 😁

Hi everyone!

I’m developing farm advisory services tailored to Kent farmers, focusing on data-driven tools like soil analysis, weather planning, and crop yield predictions. To make sure these services meet your needs and are priced fairly, I’ve put together a quick, anonymous survey.

It only takes a few minutes, and your input will directly shape services designed to make farm operations more efficient and profitable.

I’d really appreciate your feedback—thank you in advance for your time!

does anyone know if there's anything going on in those areas over the weekends at all?

Hi! I need an honest view on diversity and inclusion in Rochester. I am Italian and Mauritian and my partner is Polish/British and we are thinking to move to Rochester in Kent as we find it nice, quite safe and with good links (airport/ train). We would be moving from a big city in England where we have been living since quite a while. So, we are certainly not new in UK. But we have never lived in a small town. Is there somebody that lived/lives there who can tell me how is living in Rochester as an immigrant? Are local people welcoming? Do you think we could make friends after a bit? Is there a bit of multiculturality?

Hey good people of Medway, We are a family of 4 with two kids. Planning to move outside of London, because of high rents and lack of good higher secondary schools. Which are the family friendly areas within Medway? I am looking at Rochester for now. Any advice/tips?

Hi all, nan wants to go for a carvery for her birthday meal - where would you recommend in Medway? Not too worried about price, just want my nan to have a good birthday meal.

Have had a Google and all that comes up is Sunday Roasts - my nan was very clear she wanted a carvery and nothing else would do!

Thanks in advanced.

Hello again 👋 I made a post about 2 months back looking for people interested in maybe getting to know each other and play DND. Ended up becoming mildly overwhelmed with life and handling multiple chats, so I've made a WhatsApp community group! Comment here or send a DM and I'll send you over the link 😊
