Alan Jarrett and Howard Doe (Leader and Deputy Leader of the Conservative Group and Medway Council) were delighted to jump on board and make sure all was ship-shape at the opening of HMS President at Medway Tender in Rochester.
The Councillors joined Officer-in-Charge Lt Cdr Tracy Peyman and other guests. A satellite unit of the London-based HMS President, the Medway division recruits and trains Reservists from across the Medway towns and surrounding areas, and the opening served as a source of great pride for those who join in celebrating Medway's proud military heritage and future.
