Portsmouth Dragon Boat Festival 2018
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
Last weekend was a blast, with the Abingdon Air and Country Show, and the St Mary’s Church Community Fayre. With all the sun and the long days I don’t think we have fully recovered yet.
However there is no time to sit 
back on our laurels, as this Sunday we will be at the Portsmouth Dragon Boat Festival, being held at Lakeland, North harbour. As last year it is only on for the one day, and with archery from the Scouts, food and drink stalls, inflatable attractions as well as the dragon boat racing it will no doubt be a great day out for the whole family. Why not come along cheer for some of the teams, and have some Fun.

May is here!

The days and months are just flying past again. We have our toe in the door of May, and are booked up for every weekend.
Just to remind you this bank holiday weekend we are at the Abingdon Air and country show on Sunday. We believe tickets are
still available at the reduced pre show day price. With free parking, the show starts at 10 am and closes at 5:30 pm. There will be static ground displays, arts and crafts stalls, a food and drink area, fairground rides, classic cars, Hot Air balloons, as well as military displays. Not forgetting some great air displays from a multitude of aircraft, including a Catalina, Antonov 2 and many more.
Then as always on the first May bank holiday Monday we will be at St Mary’s Church Community Fayre. This is always a great day out with it beer tent arena displays arts and crafts, fun fair rides, live music and much, much more. All contained in the grounds of St Mary’s church Fratton Portsmouth. The event starts at 10am and closes at 4 pm.
Other dates for your diary are the Portsmouth Dragon Boat Festival, held at Lakeside North Harbour on the 13th May. We believe it is not too late to enter a team for the event, and will have craft stalls and entertainment for the whole family.
Then on the 18th 19th and 20th May we 
will be at the Midlands Air Festival, at Ragley Hall, B49 5NJ. This is a first year for the event and the organisers (Slipstream management Ltd) are throwing everything at it. There is a hot air balloon night burn to music, and fireworks on the Friday, and air displays on the Saturday and Sunday. We will post more information about it later. or Click here.
Then to cap the month off it is the end of May bank Holiday where we will be at the Alton Festival on the Saturday, The Gurkha Cup (Queens Avenue, Aldershot) on the Sunday, and The Museum of Army Flying (Middle Wallop) on the Monday. More details to follow.

The new season is kicking off
Posted by Mark | Filed under News, Next events
Only two weeks to go and the new season of shows and events will have started. Hopefully by this time in two weeks (5th May 2018) we will be set up and d
rinking a cold beer (or hot coffee) At the Abingdon Air and Country Show. The Show itself is on the 6th May, with doors opening at 8 am and the show starting at 10am. Everything must be closed by 5:30 pm to allow for stalls to depart
by the time stipulated by the MoD. There will be all the usual attractions of craft stalls, food and drink stalls, fairground rides, inflatable attractions and of course Battlefield South. As always there is a static ground display of aircraft, as well as a flying display which lasts several hours, with far too many aircraft to mention, (or click here) plus a parachute display by jump4heros. Always well worth a visit, and I believe that the T62 tank ride may be back this year. For tickets click here!
But that isn’t the Bank Holiday weekend finished and far from it. On 
Monday the 7th May we will be at the St Mary’s Church Community Fayre in Fratton Portsmouth. We have lost count how many of these we have attended but it is a great way to support the local community in Fratton and Portsea. Starting at 10 am and closing at 4:30 pm there will be inflatable attractions, fairground rides, food and drink stalls, (including the famous beer tent) craft stalls and Battlefield South. It is always a great day out, so if you are in the area why not come down, support the local area, and have loads of fun in the process.

Bratton at War 2017
Posted by Mark | Filed under Blog, News, Next events
With September looming ever closer, so does our last public event for 2017. On Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 September we will be at the “Bratton at War 2017”. Being held at BA13 4TT, just off the B3098 near Bratton in Wiltshire, the event is run by the “Wiltshire Home guard” (a living history group) and the Wiltshire MVT (Military Vehicle Trust). It is a step back in time with living history exhibits and demonstrations by re enactors, vintage military vehicles from both sides of WW2, including everything from Jeeps to tanks of all sorts. Music, Dance, Food, and a host of VW and other camper vans. In addition to this there will be trade stalls and entertainment for the whole family including Battlefield South. For those wishing to stay for the whole week end there is camping available and entertainment on the Friday and Saturday evening including a bar. For prices, pitches and information please contact the event organisers. For day visitors entrance is £5 for Adults, and £3 for Children, OAP’s and those in period costumes. There is plenty of parking which I believe is free. The whole event is non profit making and proceeds will go the Wiltshire Air ambulance. So if you come along you will be helping a great cause, possibly learning about the life and times of WW2 as well as having fun.
