  I think there will be hot dogs served at lunchtime, and in the afternoon scones and cakes.

  It was good to see so much support at the exhibition at Tilmanstone, and meet so many people.
  Photos show John Elgar with his WW2 display and the enigma machine,talking to villager Derek Gibbs.
  Photographs on display being closely examined by Tom and Rose Parfitt and Dot Marshall. Thanks to all the organisers, raised a nice sum for the village hall and church.
