Thwaite Mills 10th June

Got the itinary through from planning meeting just a few timing issues i have sorted. Engineers demolition talk and mine detecting with kids at 12.00. Grenade throwing includes kids at 13.45. Ingleton Home Guard interested in attending, will be nice to see old mates again,[Heyup guy's] Set up for a training day and stop over on the Saturday 9th.

look forward to it already so is it just the sunday?

Event just the Sunday. Training just the Saturday. If you have anything you want to cover let me know i.e. Northover. If anyone has something they want to do or be done let me know.

i think grandads determind to get it working and when hes on a mission wild horses couldnt drag him away

might stay over at this one if ive got a tent by then

I have a little training scenario based around the photograph of the Home Guard being instructed on what to do if they encounter a downed German airman/parachutist. All I would need is a blackboard, chalk and a revolver/pistol and holster. It was used for real on the observer of a shot down JU88 near me. Worked a treat, apparently.

Bring it on, blackboard/chalk no probs.

So, Do we have interest in a training day? subjects are Drill/ Northover drills/ grenade throwing/ maybe something from Russ?
Arrive at 11.30 muster at 12.00 set up camp. then itinary.
Remember this is a self catering event for the stopovers.

Fine by me and granddad

il be at the event on sunday, i believe the ladies will be joining us a bit later?

I was just going to cancel the training day as only Harold and James said they were going. I wasn't staying over by myself. Another thread seems to say otherwise, so is the training day on or not !!

Really good Training day and Event, Good displays, nice to stopover with good company and such a good place [big thanks to the staff who made it possible] Nice to see Russ, Mick, Andy and Tracy. [Andy, its on here how to post pics] Response from the public [and Mick] was just right when our Panzer?? emerged from the undergrowth. Great little scenario linked well from Lt. Turton's talk. I'm shattered, even though it was nice to sit back without the pressure and let someone else do the talking? Remember were the only group that does the Northover 'our way' if it's the video i'm expecting, bare in mind this is the was the very 1st dry run and yes we know it's colour isn't right yet, but Harold as put alot of work into it to get it there for this weekend.

Some photos Sam took
