Kate French from Meopham is hoping to put Gravesend on the map by competing in the 2012 Olympics. Her chosen tournament will be the Modern Pentathlon which comprises of Swimming, Cross-country running, Shooting, Riding and Fencing.

We wish her the best of luck!

Gravesend Town Centre saw thousands of people gather to watch the colourful celebrations of the Sikh festival 'Vaisaikhi'. Yet again, there was a long parade that stretched from Clarence Place and past the Clock Tower. 

Kent County Council are staging their own version of the famous Olympic games - 14 different sports will be available for children to compete in from ages 7-15.

The swimming will be held at the Cygnet Leisure Centre on April 26th. Many different schools will be competing and we hope you will join in the fun too!
