Hello
All Stations,
We
had an excellent 'launch' this afternoon. BBC Radio Kent did
a piece which went out at 1715hrs and we expect something similar
from KFM over the weekend. Meridian TV will show their film of
the event sometime over this weekend - you need to check their
website for an accurate time.
Local
press were well represented with a prequel in today's Kent Messenger
and a full report with pictures due in Monday's edition. There
was also the piece on the BBC Website circulated to you this
morning. There should be something in 'Sailing Today' as well.
Chief
Inspector Peter Wedlake uttered some very supportive PR words
to camera and assorted microphones and there was a good turn
out of members from Association Clubs.
Our
thanks to Rochester Cruising Club for their hospitality and I'll
try and get the rest of the signs distributed next week.
Regards,
Keith
Jolly,
Chair,
MYA.

Here is the
latest press release as a PDF file (132KB).
10/03/05
At
a meeting today of officials and river users it was agreed to
establish a scheme similar to Neighbourhood Watch. This is a
scheme new to this area but it will be modeled on an existing
Hampshire Marine Watch.
It
will act as a conduit so that all marine crime incidents can
be collated which should enable us to establish the amount of
boat related crime happening on the River Medway. At the moment
there is no statistical record kept which gives the Police a
very good reason for not using more resources to prevent crime
on the river. With this new scheme in operation the Police will
be able to target crime hotspots and information gathered will
help in the prosecution of serial offenders.
If
you see or hear anything, contact me in the first instance either
by phone or email and I will pass on your report.
Of
course actual crimes taking place should be reported to the Police
using the 999 system but do please let me know about them as
well so that I can pass on the information to Marine Watch.
We
all have to do our part, keeping our eyes and ears open and reporting
anything suspicious, not just when doing our security patrols
but at all times when we are on the river. Also if you hear of
anyone selling dodgy gear.
In
return the Marine Watch office will let me know if there is anyone,
or a boat or car for which they want us to keep a look out and
I will pass on the information to the membership.
