No one is responsible now Ian.
I'm not going to keep on about "I would have done this " or "I would have done that"; no point and people don't want to keep reading about it either - I pick that up from the Forum.
No one wants to know a yesterday man - good or not; worthy or not.
If there are any posters or images, I will be happy to send round an email with an attachment on it, telling everyone.
Recently, I have been working with a chap who is organising a reception for around 3 dozen guys - current and ex-soldiers who are marching 70 miles in 3 days from Dunkirk to comemmorate the march made 70 years ago.
They will arrive at Dover docks around noon on Monday 31st. of May and march to the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club. There will then be a reception for them - free tea and coffee etc. and a welcome and inspection by the Mayor of Dover.
The guys will be dressed in period uniform and carrying period arms (decommissioned of course); there will also be some nurses in attendance.
Also parked outside the Yacht Club will be some 1940 military vehicles.
After the Yacht Club reception, Dave Atkins of the Dover Transport Museum will be taking them to Cruise Terminal 1 (for FREE - well done Dave) for a service of thanksgiving, as that was the Marine Station during the war.
Please do come along to welcome these guys (and gals); they last did this march 10 years ago; it is a gruelling march for them and they will appreciate your welcome and your warmth.
Have a drink with them in the Yacht Club too - I'll sign you in.
Roger
