THE YMCA in Overy Street, Dartford is preparing to mark its 125th birthday and we're looking for your memories.

The YMCA Thames Gateway, formerly the YMCA Dartford, will be 125 years old in September.

A party is being held next month and all past members are invited.

The Messenger would like to hear from anyone who has been involved with the YMCA, past and present.

Email dartfordmessenger@thekmgroup.co.uk or telephone 01474 564327 with your tales, or any old photographs you may have of your time with the organisation.
