David not there till Sunday so Mr. Amy leading us, be at the school around 0945 preferably before for our rehearsal, usually set off at 1048?.

All as well as gate guard.
Enjoy

Still no reply from either NMR events or AFMC about the Parade route, They promised to let me know when confirmed, poor to keep their marchee's in the dark as to the route I think

Well we did it. Firstly it was a privailge to take us and the Howarth Home Guard for a proper drill on the square and not a bad Parade shame about the ongoing train delays that caused Keith to miss the Memorial Hall reverse arms. The weekend started badly with a delay putting up the camp as sewerage was pumped out of our camp area, the trains were all up the creek Saturday we were set up for air raid and ammo train but had to be stood down more than once, eventually cancelled, only just getting in the nun. Sunday the rain set in with ernest, the gas went haywire and cooked bacon, egg, beans and tomato on one ring plus kettle, and i'm only a Sgt. not bad at multi skilling now, rain till lunch time, a great big effort from May [and Jenny] for a fab lunch, then we sort of made up for it with the best ammo train yet and the new anti paratroop drill. I would like to thank you for all the nice comments about my performance Saturday Eve at the Hall, could have been a disaster but I think not now. And a thank you for all members and guests who made a potentially poor weekend into a most enjoyable one.
