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.

Portsmouth Dragon Boat Race 3rd and 4th October 2015
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!

A big weekend coming up 12 & 13 September
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
On the 12 & 13 of September, Battlefield South will be attending what is likely to be our biggest event of the year. Yes it is the Old Sarum Air Show. Not only will we be providing our Laser tag game, but hope to be staffing the H4H charity stall. This is a great honour, as H4H is one of our nominated charities, and we are really looking forward to it.
The show also promises to be outstanding, and historic as the Avro Vulcan XH588 will be appearing and hopefully providing a flypast with the Sally B B17. This is scheduled to be the Vulcan’s last display on the south coast prior to its retirement from displays and flying at the end of the season. 
In addition to these two great aircraft with be displays by Spitfires, Hurricanes, biplanes and tri planes of the Great War Display Team, the Tiger Club Turb Team, Pitts S1S, Swordfish Torpedo Bomber, The Calidus Autogyro and so much more..
Your ticket not only allows you entry to the show but also to the museum and all the ground displays, which besides Battlefield South are far too numerous to mention here.
We should remind you though that this is a ticket only event, and there are no ticket purchases on gate. So if you want to be part of something historic, you best get in and get your tickets while they are still available. Go to www.oldsarumairshow.com click on the menu icon top right, and follow to the ticket sales. For more information about the show on the ground and in the air follow the link, to the site, explore, and allow your imagination to run riot.

Canford Magna 30 August 2015
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
A months rain in just a few hours, and that was just last Sunday. So a big thanks to all who ventured out Sunday afternoon to support the Sky Balloons event. I hope you stayed dryer than we did.
But don’t let that put you off, we are out and about again this weekend. This time at the Family Fun Day being held at the The Hamworthy Club, Magna road, Canford Magna, Dorset. The profits will go to local charities and local area to help the community. There will be stalls or all kinds, with food drink, arts and crafts, Pepper Pig, Kids wonder play area, BBQ live entertainment and Battlefield South. The events starts at 11 am and due to finish at 6pm, but don’t leave it too late or you will miss all the fun.
Moving on from this weekend, here is just a quick reminder that we will be at the Old Sarum Air Show, on 12 & 13 September. There will be a whole host of aircraft including Spitfires, Hurricanes, The Sally B B17 Bomber, Autogyro, the Great war display team, and much more. However more than that, this is the last show on the south coast which has been able to book the Avro Vulcan XH558 and therefore, may be the last opportunity to see this amazing war bird on the south coast ever! As after this season it is doubtful that she will ever fly again. This is due to parts and support is being withdrawn by the companies which keep her going. We have also been asked to remind you that this is a ticket only show, and as tickets are limited I would recommend you get your tickets now. As they will be in short supply and not ticket means no entry on the day. For more information go to their website www.oldsarumairshow.com.
