On 13th June 2008, The Pride of Gravesham winners, their guests and Council Officers, visited Parliament as a guest of Adam Holloway MP.
They enjoyed a tour of Parliament which was followed by a small reception. The lucky winners were also taken on to the Terrace by Adam.

Probably not since World War 2 have so many residents of Gravesend, Northfleet and the villages been away at one time. But the turn out for The Game at Wembley on Saturday was huge - Gravesham must have been deserted. Total Torquay and Ebsfleet fans - 40,186 of which at least 65% were wearing red t-shirts. That is at least twenty six thousand supporters mostly from here. I have always hated football (because I am useless at it), but I loved this. All of it, my best day yet in Gravesham. From realising that the three red t-shirts behind me at the bar were three fans from Boston (yes, Boston America: now we love our local team….but it aint a Manchester United. Yet). To the way that the ball accelerated over wet grass, moved by thunder from the crowd and sky. I did not realise that football can be like ballet, though I am not brave or stupid enough to suggest to number 19 he wear a tutu.
Injury time arrived, and with it time for Torquay to equalize – or for The Fleet to gain an extra goal (and me £60 from the bookies for my bet for a 2-0 Ebsfleet Win). But money can’t buy grown men and women crying with happiness as the final whistle went. Well, I am going to spend £35 of the money I did not win and buy a share of something that will give pleasure to many more generations of people in Gravesham, and now through the internet across the world.
