Title: Medway Queen
Post by: Channel on June 27, 2007, 03:49:30 AM

Does anyone know the current status of the MQ's rebuild/funding ? Have the society raised the money required ? When can we expect to see the hull being launched.

Cheers
Chris

Hello Chris,
Sorry I have not replied to you questions until now, but all seems to be at a tactful stage re The Heritage Lottery Fund, and needs finesse at present, on statements.
I can only say that:

‘ Negotiation’s are still on going for our re build of the hull for the Medway Queen, it seems that we have to cross our T’s and I’s for the HLF, to progress the possible release of funding.’

We sadly have still ‘Part Funding’ to raise, half has been, but still £160.000 to go.
Thanks for your input.

Regards Len Knight Webmaster, MQPS.  :(
