The Armed Forces Weekend
Posted by Mark | Filed under News
What a stunning weekend on Southsea common.
As always our armed forces put on a marvelous show, with all kinds of attractions and displays from regulars, reserves and veterans alike. Additionally the chance to catch up with old friends was not lost on many of the veterans, (least of all me). I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did and will join me in saying a big hand to the organizers, it was a good job well done, (but what else would one expect from you all).
Many thanks also to those of you who came over to the Battlefield South arena and either had a go or just had a look in. Our apologies for the delays, and thank you for your patients, (on two very hot days). We did try to ease the wait for equipment by offering shows such as, “watch the sleeping lad get covered in camouflage cream”, (it had been a very long weekend for him), and “who’s next to be painted”. The latter having so many volunteers, it made the queue longer.
We hope to be posting the few photos we managed to take, (as we just didn’t get time to take many) as soon as we can. However if you have some you would like to see on the site please call 01489 885886 or send them to mark@battlefieldsouth.co.uk and we will see what we can do.
So from all the staff of Battlefield South thank you and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
