    It really is absolutely gutting when you think of all the hard work the volunteers do to open the place up twice a year. As I'm sure you all know the door takings and gift-aid donations are simply put back into the society and are mainly spent on cutting equipment and publicity. Replacing the loss of £7-800 of equipment has just nullified a full Open Day. It makes you wonder why anyone bothers...even in the seemingly inoffensive apolitical world of history, education and re-enactment sadly it seems that there is a pathetic individual or two out there with an axe to grind and sabotage it.

    Still, the police are treating this very seriously and an investigation is underway. This comes under the new Heritage Crimes Initiative, recently signed off between the Association of Chief Police Officers, the Crown Prosecution Service and English Heritage (who own the Drop Redoubt).

    Still, these sh*ts won't put us off, we'll still have a good Open Day in June - I hope you'll all come and show your support!
