  12th and 13th JUNE 2010 - opening by the Mayor 10am Saturday. 10am to 4pm both days.
  
  This year's event will again be in partnership with USO Field Concerts.
  
  It is to be held in Pencester Gardens, Dover and the daytime activities remain totally free to all members of the public. As always the 'core' of the weekend will be a programme of 1940's themed entertainment.
  
  Old favourites will be returning including the Swingtime Sweethearts and the Clover Sisters. Bud Flanagan and Max Millar tribute acts will also be performing. The Marine Cadets will be out to win back the Hellfire Corner Trophy from the Air Cadets.
  
  There will be a range of 1940's civilian and military displays.
  
  Armed Forces charities will be making collections including Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion and the Wings Appeal.
  
  The Hellfire Corner Association would like to express our thanks to those who have provided invaluable support to our event. Dover Town Council who have provided a grant of £1,000 and practical help, Dover District Council for help facilitating the event and business sponsors, Blakes of Castle Street, Regency IFA, RS Entertainment and USO Field Concerts. Our Kent County Councillors have once again been unstinting in their support for the event including Councillors Nigel Collor, Julie Rook and Bryan Cope.
  
  On Saturday evening we will have a 1940's dance at St. Mary's Parish Hall (7.30pm to 11.30pm). There will be displays of Lindy Hop dancing.
  
  Advance tickets £8 (£10 on the door). It is an American Supper style evening so you can bring your own food and drink. Hot dogs will be for sale on the evening for £1.50.
  
  Dress code 1940's civilian or allied uniforms preferred.
  
  Dance Tickets are available from on 07972 194745 or 01304 213902.
  
  I hope to see a lot of forumites over the weekend in Pencester and hopefully at the dance as well.
