New basement launch for Change

Change Youth organisation is currently awaiting for tomorrow's launch of their new basement centre.

Change Canterbury is an organisation that encourages the community to get involved in charity cases and organises different events for their causes.

Dan Blythe, one of the organisers talked about their project. "From the basement we are really hoping that we can do a lot more. We spend so much time setting up that we miss actually hanging out with the youth. The Basement gives so much potential and we are really looking forward to do more nights with a variety of activities.”

The event will be taking place on 4^th of May starting at 06:30 pm at Canterbury’s Baptist church. Carla Harding from 14-7 prayer will be a guest speaker meanwhile the guests will be entertained by “shenanigans like Xbox, pool, tuck, worship and more.”

Last year Change organized a fashion show to fight against child trafficking. The show was a success and managed to raised a significant sum. This year they are part of another fashion show called LSH. The Love Shouldn’t Hurt project aims at school years nine to 13 and fights against domestic violence and abuse. The idea is to raise awareness of what a healthy and safe relationship is.

Showing off the classics

Herne Bay put on show the best classic cars and bikes in the county last Saturday in the town centre. Many exhibitors were present to show off the classiest, luxurious and unique vehicles both on two and four wheels.

The guests enjoyed six entertainment areas including Pip the Clown, Punch & Judy, Steamboat Jazz band, Morris Dancers, The Crooner and on the main stage, The Doris Day Tribute, David Sheppard and a surprise band

The cars being the main attraction ranged from early 1900’s to 1990’s. The Coastal Towns Manager (Herne Bay & Whitstable) Chris West said: “The aim of the Classic Car & Bike Show is to bring visitors to the town and to improve the town’s economy and hopefully they will have a good experience and wish to return.

“The event brings the community together, as we give local charities and community groups the chance to exhibit at the show, to promote their own organisations.” According to Mr West the turnout for the day was around 10,000 people.

The show lasted from ten o’clock in the morning till around four in the afternoon. For those who missed this show, not to worry. In August, Herne Bay is hosting another motor show on Saturday, the 27^th. If you are interested in being part of it with your own motor please fill the booking form here.
