Look what’s next
Posted by Mark | Filed under Next events
After a fun packed (if rather damp) Bank Holiday weekend At the Surrey Heath Show, Abdingdon Air and Country Show then on the Monday at St Mary’s Church Fratton, we had a show free weekend this week. We were however looking forward to better weather at the Portsmouth Dragon Boat Festival being held on the 
16th and 17th May (next weekend). However due to circumstances beyond their control they have had to postpone the event. It is now scheduled to be run on the 3rd and 4th of October 2015. So watch this space for news and updates.
This leaves us with a Saturday, free however we are busy looking to see if we can fill it with another event. If we are successful in finding another event we will post the details on here and on our Facebook page as usual.
We are busy with private events after this weekend, however we do have another new event for you, and this should really wet your appetites. We have been invited to take part the this year’s Milland Food, Drink & Music Festival, being held in the village of Milland, West Sussex on 30 May 2015. There will be bouncy castles, inflatable slides, Reodo bull, old style fairground rides, Face painting and this year Battlefield South. There may also be the odd cake and craft stalls, beer tent and music. Parking is Free and although 5 minute walk away from the event, there are free shuttle busses, and a £5 entrance fee for over 12 year olds. The event is from 10 am to 10 pm, and profit from the event goes to local groups and good causes. From what we have been able to learn about the event it is a picture post card village and a great day out, so why not come along, enjoy the atmosphere and have a game or two with us.
Still to be confirmed On the 7th June if you are a petrol head, we are planning a visit to Breamor House, Fordingbridge for the Wessex Car Show. Last year there was over 700 cars there, with cake and craft stalls, auto jumble, live music, inflatable castles, and rides model aircraft flying displays and much much more.
To add to the excitement of June Battlefield South will attending the Titchfield Summer Carnival again this year. It is only on one day this year (21st June), so miss it and you will miss out. There will be lots of activities for the whole family, including Live music, craft stalls, and no doubt wellie throwing, tug of war, and more. So why not come along and have some fun.
To top off the month of June, and in conjunction with “Armed Forces day” we will be celebrating the long standing relationship between the British Army and Bordon. With the garrison due to close the small village which over the last 100 plus years has been bolstered by the garrison into a sizable town, will once again and possibly for the last time share the day with a “Farewell to the garrison event”. The Corp of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers will be given the freedom of the town, where they will 
parade and fix bayonets prior to Marching back to the Garrison. The day looks to be outstanding, with all sorts of activities and attractions taking place during the day. The event starts at the memorial at 11 am and the attractions start at 12 until 5 pm at Budds sports ground. We understand that there is a small entrance fee to the sports ground but all the activities, (bar, cake, food and craft stalls are not included) are free to those attending. Well worth a trip out in anyone book!

So many events so few weekends
Posted by Mark | Filed under News, Next events
As we fast approach the end of January, we are now busy looking at events and booking dates for the forth coming show and fete season. As always it would appear that everyone wants to have their events on the same weekend, so as usual some are going to be disappointed, although if it is a two day event we do try to attend at least one day.
So if you have an event or a birthday coming up (Between April and September) please let us know as soon as possible. We would hate to disappoint you.
That said we are kicking off early in April, (5 April to be precise). We will be back at Highclere Castle for their annual Easter egg hunt. 
This is a great event, with lots of stalls and attractions, so if you are looking for something different to do on Easter Sunday, why not come along and have fun in the grounds of Highclere (Downton Abby) Castle. You could even get some free chocolate!

It is time to say farewell to 2014 and what a year it has been, with the loss of some old friends and events along with the welcoming of new faces and new events. There has been a wide variety of tasks from small and personal parties, to some of the biggest events we have currently been involved in, (naming no names). To those that will be no more we say goodbye and thank you for the opportunity to work with you. To the new events we say a big hello and hope to help you with your entertainment in this bright new 2015.
To all our customers we would like to say a big thank you, for using Battlefield South. We trust you have had a great and fun time and been satisfied with the service. We also hope you will remember to call us again when you require a little exercise with lots of fun and entertainment.
Farewell to those staff who have moved on. We wish each one of you nothing but the best for the future. Thank you for your help during your time with us, we hope you enjoyed your time and we were able to broaden your mind, if not your muscles.
However it is now time to say a big hello to 2015 and wish you all a very happy New Year, were ever you are around the world.
