Nothing unusual in the Gillingham diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Gillingham is one of several Medway towns close together — check which station you need to avoid confusion.

Ground note

The ground sits in a residential area, so noise restrictions mean limited fan zones outside.
