Annual General Meeting Feb 28-March 1

The groups first event on the 2009 calender and Annual General Meeting was held in conjunction with a militaria and reenactors fair at Derby University. Group members had an opportunity to sell excess kit and stock up on needed items with the proceeds, although I suspect some spent a little more than was raised from sales! This years events are already booked and listed here as well as in the Events section to the right.

A Pre D-Day Camp

Journey back to May 1944, the Allies are nearly ready to launch the attack on Europe to free the occupied countries. As the build up of men and material continues, camps spring up across the country. Next to a small village the army has moved in, a vehicle pool stands behind the old stables, the cottages have extra guests as soldiers are billeted with families.

The village hall has been taken over by the officers as an admin post, the village green is a parade square. Tents fill the meadow behind the village.

Watch soldiers in mock battles on exercise, meet the families that welcome the troops into their own homes, experience the build up to the second front…

Embsay 1940's weekend 13/14th September 2008
