Capel Military Vehicle Show 2019
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
Firstly a big thank you to all who turned out to support not only
us at St Dunstan’s (Blind Veterans UK) in Brighton, last week end, but to everyone who turned out to all the other Armed Forces Day events all over the country.
Movi
ng forward, there is another big weekend
coming in the form of the Capel Vintage Military Vehicle Show. As always, it is being held at Aldhurst Farm,
Temple Lane, Capel, near Dorking (RH5 5HJ). Tickets are still available both for day and weekend visits, although I understand camping pitches are getting short, (at time of writing). It is a fun packed weekend full of Tanks, 
and soft skinned military vehicles, living history groups, and re-enactors from mainly the second World War right up to almost present day. In addition, there will no doubt be a chinook helicopter and many other displays. Additionally there will be live music and singing, a funfair and inflatable rides and not forgetting the beer tent for those cool refreshments! It really is a cracking weekend away and well worth a visit.

Armed Forces Day at ST Dunstan’s!
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
Well last weekend slipped through the net, and this weekend is nearly upon us. So firstly, Many thanks to the Basingstoke Rotary Club for inviting us to join them at the Basingstoke and North Hants Cricket ground for their Family Fun Day, (which lasted all weekend). Luckily the weather stayed sunny on Saturday and warm but over cast on Sunday. However with no rain to dampen the spirits a great weekend was had by all.
Looking forward to this weekend, on Friday we will as always be attending Medina School Fete, at Medina School, Medina road, Cosham. It is generally a small affair which runs between 2pm and 4 pm, however we are always please to be there and help raise money for the school.
Then on Sunday we will be at St Dunstan’s Blind Hospital, in Ovingdean, Brighton, BN2 7BS. Parking and entrance is free, and if it is half as good as last year it should be a cracking day. There are arena shows, and lots of activities and stalls to wander around. Set in the grounds of St Dunstan’s Hospital for Blind Veterans, it is great fun and always a privilege to attend. As such we look forward to seeing you there!

On Sunday 2 June it all happens again with the addition of a remembrance parade with a guard from HMS Sultan commemorating all those that fell during the war, (Including: the playing of Last post, followed by a minutes silence, and then the playing of Reveille).

War Time Wallop 2019
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
What a show last week was at the Midlands Air Festival with in close to 600 games played across the Saturday and Sunday the team was kept very busy.
Moving on to this weekend, our only public event is on Monday 27 May, at War Time Wallop. 
Yes the annual show at The Museum of Army Flying at the home of the Army Air Corp Middle Wallop is on again, and following last year’s success, is looking to be bigger and better than ever. The day starts at 10am and closes at 4:30 pm. Parking is (we believe) free, as always. There will be the usual craft stalls and 
food stalls with live music and singing entertainment, from the “Decibelles” and Dancing from the “Andover Lindyhoppers”. Additionally there will be inflatable rides, demonstrations of bomb disposal, historic aircraft, and a hot air balloon. Not to mention right at the end of the field Battlefield South Mobile Laser Tag game which like last year is included in you entre price.
It really is a packed event and the admission fee includes entrance to the newly refurbished Museum with much more aircraft, and displays.
