Firstly the bad news! For all our fans in the Whitehill and Bordon area, I am sorry to report that we will not now be attending your Summer activity day on 13 August 2016. This is due to issues outside of our control, (they forgot to book us and are now full). However we understand that there will be an Assault course, climbing wall, Farm animals, inflatable rides, a BBQ and much, much more. The day is being held at Forest Community Centre, Bordon GU35 0BS, starting at 10 am and closes at 4 pm. All at Battlefield South wish your event every success and hope you will have an amazing day.
Don’t feel you are missing out, as we are still planning to attend the Bordon School Fete on 25th September 2016, (more news on that to follow).
So our next public event is now the 14th August 2016 at The Hamworthy Club, Magna Road, Canford Magna, Wimborne, Dorset BH21 3AP.

25th September as above we are attending the Bordon School summer fete. Being held at Bordon Junior school, Budds Lane, Bordon GU35 0JB.

We have been busy, busy, busy, over the last month or so, and last weekend was a real highlight, with Whitehall and Bordon Festival on Saturday 25 June 2016, and then Surrey Armed Forces Day at Loseley Park, Guildford on Sunday 26 June 2016. Thank you to everyone who 
came and played and supported both events, as the weather was not always at its best. A special thanks must go to Mrs L Hyett of Hampshire ABF, Cannon P Bruinvels, Surrey ABF, Mr B Thomas Surrey ABF, Mr Curtis Bone and so many more 
who welcomed us to the events, and made us feel so at home. At the end of the day at Loseley Park, on Sunday because the Surrey and Hampshire Marine Cadets had worked so hard we held off from de rigging the attraction and allowed them to have some fun. (See inserted pictures, sorry we couldn’t put them all up).
So what is to come? Well on Friday 1st July we will be at The Medina School Summer fayre, being held at Medina school, Medina Road Cosham Portsmouth. The fayre starts at 3 pm and closes at 5pm and although open to the public it is mainly for the school children and parents.
On Saturday 2nd July we will be at the Hedge end Carnival. This is a really fun event. The theme this year is “crazy cartoons” with a procession, a funfair, cake competition, craft stalls, food and drink stalls, inflatable rides and lots to do and see. Not forgetting Battlefield South. So why not pop along and support the event. The Saturday events start at 12 midday ish and end at 5pm.
Closing the weekend on Sunday we will be at what was to be The Milton Park Family Fun Day, however due to circumstances beyond the organisers control the venue has had to be moved to the Playing Fields Of The Lord Nelson School, Dundas Lane, Portsmouth. Opening at 10 am and closing at 3 pm the even boasts all sorts of inflatable attractions, craft stalls, food and drink stalls, and not forgetting Battlefield South.
Although it would be nice to see you at all the events, realistically, we would be delighted to see you at any one of them.
