  It is now finally upon us and the weekend is only a couple of weeks away - 31st May/1st June !!
  
  We now have a joint programme (including the 1940's Weekend and the Dover Pageant) that is available from many places such as the TIC and Dover Museum.
  
  Hope to see you there ! Here is the poster:

  Good luck with your event Paul.
  
  Ours is looking good, lots of vehicles, military and civilian, more than ever showing an interest, and the bandstand will be better than ever.
  
  Some of our people will be with you for your weekend as well.

  Definitely going to both events (I hope). Is there anything different up the Western Heights this year Paul?

  We are planning to open up a couple more areas within the Redoubt, this year we have some Scottish re-enactors on the Saturday, and on the Sunday we have some French to shoot
  Been nice knowing you :)

  Thanks to all the organisers and re-enacters who put on such a good display (as always).
  
  Here are half a dozen pictures for you including some from the beach landing on Saturday:

  You'll need to go to the 'Dover, Kent' gallery on the right hand side.
