Surrey Heath Show, where there will be classic cars, all sorts of craft stalls, a beer tent, food stalls local and not so local business, fairground attractions for the kids, arena shows and displays, and of course Battlefield south for the not so small children of 8 years old and over. As part of our charitable works, we will also be collecting for The Royal British Legion, and The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF the Soldiers Charity). So if you don’t want to play please add some loose change to the collection buckets which will be available in our tent.

Then on Sunday 01st May we are at the Abingdon Air and Country show. Being held on the old RAF Abingdon airfield, this is one of the first air shows of the year, and is always a great day out. Besides static aircraft displays with cockpits to sit in, a fully packed three hour air display, ground simulators, fun fair rides, Tank rides, craft and food stalls and live music . As always funds raised at the show will be going to help support the Air Ambulance, which is a worthy cause in itself. As The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF the Soldiers Charity) will have their own presence at the show we will be only collecting for the Royal British Legion. However if you wish to donate to them we would be more than happy to pass any monies over to them. For their website click here

Getting on Board with ABF The Soldiers Charity
Posted by Mark | Filed under News
We may well be in our closed season with regards to events, however we have been working hard behind the scenes and we are very pleased to be able to announce that, not only will the ABF The Soldiers Charity be one of our chosen charities for the coming year. We will also be working with them on a regular basis, throughout the coming year.
The ABF give a lifetime of support to soldiers and former soldiers from the British Army, and their immediate families, when they are in need. They make grants to individuals through their Regiments and Corps and support a wide range of specialist charities that sustain the British Army ‘family’, both at home and around the world.
They take pride in being responsive, making a difference at a critical point in peoples’ lives, and have been doing this since 1944. They working with veterans of every conflict, and envisage continuing doing so for the ‘long haul’ – supporting all future generations of our soldiers and their dependents.

We are proud include the following in our list of supported charities and initiatives

Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
It coming and its coming soon! The postponed Portsmouth Dragon boat race organised by the Portsmouth & Southsea and Southsea Castle rotary clubs will be held at IBM’s Portsmouth North Harbour on 3rd and 4th October 2015.
The event was postponed earlier in the year due to blue algae in the water which we are assured has dissipated and as such is no longer a health issue. As always there will be lots for people to do besides watch the racing, including various types of stalls, Archery, inflatable attractions and Battlefield South. Also this is currently our last public event for this year, so if you don’t want to miss out you best come on down. The days start at 10 am and finish at about 4:30 pm each day, parking is free as is entrance for spectators. For more information about the event including entry into the competition visit their web site We look forward to seeing you there!
