Report on Beltring 06

 

 

 

Well first of all I must say, I have never been so cooked as we all where at Beltring.

Hot Hot Hot.

 

Paul, Ieuan and Michael arrived on Wednesday, we went to see Greg who is in charge of the living history displays and was given the choice of 3 areas we choice the one that was near to the one we had last year.

We marked the area and stringed it off and left a sign there.

We checked on it several times, BUT by Thursday afternoon SOMEONE had pinched it off us and set there display in it.

Wendy got hold of Rex and Greg and complained strongly.

We where given another pitch but it was to small to display on and we just fitted the Tent on it.

 

A NEW member of ours arrived on Thursday his name is Rob he brought his brother with him for the company on the long journey down.

 

Lee turned up as well on Thursday

Mike, Tony, Chris and Andrew turned up Thursday night

Mucker and Matt turned up Friday.

 

We had a 100% turnout and I am sad that Russell could not do the patrol walk with us to the church or the tank. He is in only a few photos, but he was there.

 

So by Friday night the South Wales Borderers where all ready for the beer tent.

I must say now that we have a lot of Youngsters under the ago of 21 its like having a group of peacocks with you when you go to the beer tent, but we had a good laugh and a very good drink, well it was very hot.

 

We had a excellent day on Saturday and YES it rained for about 20 mins and everyone just stood in it to cool off but we where dry very soon once the sun same out.

We would like to thank the 29^th USA group for allowing us into there display, they had built a bombed out church this year.

 

I would like to thank Tiger 1 for also allowing us to climb on there Tiger.

We all enjoyed the show, we sweated, drank, shopped, drank, slept and drank but then again that’s Beltring for you.

 

Please find below some photos of us

 

You can also see some more in the gallery, or go and have a look at some more of us on the following link.

 

A very big thank you to everyone for their 100% at this show.

 

 

 

Below is the photo of the football match team.

The score was Allies 4  Germans 2

It was very hot and the piece of ground we played on was very lumpy, but considering it was all arranged in about 4hours we had a great laugh and are hoping to build on it next year.
