  Despite the weather we still had over 500 people visiting us and all of the re-enactors in the Drop Redoubt over the weekend, so adding some well needed money to the coffers !!
  
  Next event will be the summer one, 15/16 June 2013 which we hope to be a multi-era event as we have quite a lot of WW2 interested in coming along again
  Been nice knowing you :)

  Well done Paul and Phil and everyone involved.
  
  Sunday was a wet, miserable day though wasn't it ? - hope you still had a few up there to make it worthwhile.

  I love this one by Simon - one of the Home Guard and a British Red Cross worker, having a tea break between raids.

  Well, we have been so unlucky with the weather this year, back in July we coincided with THAT monsoon Saturday. Unfortunately that impacted on visitor numbers, naturally. The good news is that we are in the black overall and we have now made contacts with wartime re-enactors all of whom wish to come back next year. This means next year we will be looking at multi-period days so our Open Weekends will be bigger and better than ever.
