We’re starting to count down to the 2024 Medway Sports Awards, which will take place next month.

There’s 11 awards, all keenly contested with a high standard of nominations, including for Club of the Year.

Among them are Medway Eagles Ice Hockey Club, who pride themselves on being a club for everyone, and their growing membership is a testament to their success in uniting people who share a love of hockey.

They boast more than 100 registered players with the most significant growth among beginners.

Eagles offer various pathways including free loan kits. They also provide ice time and competitive experience for aged-out juniors looking to move into adult hockey.

The Meapa Gymnastics Club moved to their new facility in Rochester in 2020. They aspire to provide for all ages from baby classes to recreational activities like general and freestyle gymnastics.

The club offer a variety of pathways for more advanced children with opportunities at a high-performance level. The current membership is approximately 1,800, ranging from six months to adults.

With gymnasts on the international stage as well there is no doubting the quality among the club’s elite performers.

Shortlisted nominees in each category will be invited to a gala celebration evening on December 13 at Rochester’s Corn Exchange, when the winners will be announced.

The Medway Sports Awards are organised by Medway Council, sponsored by Willmott Dixon and supported by the Medway Messenger.
