The latest edition of the Medway Messenger is in the shops now, full of the latest local news, pictures and sport.

We have special reports on the record-breaking KM Medway Big Quiz, finals night at the 25th Medway Business Awards and the Christmas lights being switched on in Chatham High Street. This week's school under the First Class spotlight is Twydall Infants.

Our monthly glossy magazine Focus has a competition to win £750 to spend at the House of Fraser and 15 Chridstmas hampers to be won. It also has lots of festive fashion and gift ideas.

Also free inside in What's On, your seven day leisure and TV guide. It includes an interview with Hayley Westenra, the biggest selling classical artiste of this century and a look at Santa Specials on board Kent's light railways.

The Homes & Motors supplement has hundreds of houses and cars for sale and is the first place to come if you're looking to make one of these major purchases.

In sport, we look ahead to Gillingham's second round FA Cup tie at home to League Two Burton Albion tomorrow. Mark Stimson's men are in top form at Priestfield and a win would put them in the draw for round three with the Premiership big boys.

So many reasons to pick up a copy of your big value Medway Messenger today.
