Posted by Mark | Filed under News, Next events
There are only five days to go before we set off for our big end of May Bank Holiday weekend !
Our first stop on Saturday 27 May, is Alton Town Park for the Alton Town Festival. The day opens at 10am entrance is free and the event closes at 6pm There will be food, beverage, and craft stalls, inflatable attractions, fair rides, live music from amongst others “Simpleton Tunsmith” and of course Battlefield South. IT is a fun day out so if you are in the area, come over to the park and have some fun.
Then we have a quick de rig and it is over to Queens Avenue, Aldershot where we are attending the Gurkha Cup on Sunday 29th. This is a massive event with all sorts of attractions and a football competition. The colour and atmosphere is truly amazing. The Day (and the football) kicks off at 10am and runs through to 5pm and includes a Free Fall Parachute display by “The Silver Stars” It is the display team of the Royal Logistic Corp, and was formed from the teams of the old RAOC team ( The Cannon Balls at least that’s what we called them) and The Silver Stars of the Royal Corp of Transport. The Silver Stars are the oldest British Military parachute display team and has a great heritage. This year is the 15 anniversary and promises to be the biggest and grandest yet. For more details visit the website www.Gurkhacupuk.com
After the We close it is another quick de rig, and we are off again. This time, we are off to the home of the Army Air Corp at Middle Wallop. The event “War Time Wallop” held and run by the Museum of Army Flying on Monday 29 May will have all the usual food, beverages and Craft stalls, alongside re enactors / living history, a firing field gun, military vehicles, military aircraft, including an Apache Attack helicopter, and of course Battlefield South. There is a chance that they will be a flyby including a Scout / Wasp helicopter. 
The entrance price includes the museum which is well worth a visit by itself. We understand parking is free. For more information visit the web site https://www.armyflying.com/events/all-events/wartime-wallop-2017/
