AGM and 2011 Events Confirmed

The Annual General Meeting was held at Stockton Forest on Sunday 13th March. Amongst other group meeting items the 2011 events were confirmed. These are listed in the 'Events planned for 2011' section in the side column of this website. It looks like another good list of events for the year.

70th anniversary of the Sheffield Blitz

The event was the 70th anniversary of the Sheffield blitz. The East Yorks lads were in the city centre on the 12th Dec with a good display for the general public. Due to the interest that was generated, it was difficult to photograph the lads in action! Photos and text from Bill.

Embsay 2010

The event was well attended with a about ten men on both days. The weather was damp on Saturday but much better on Sunday. Due to the German paratroop alert we deployed the Bren team on the platform to cover the approach to the station along the track. At regular intervals a short section was sent on patrol checking station buildings and rolling stock. On Sunday a detachment was posted on the main entrance to the station yard, checking incoming vehicles and again the Bren team were deployed on the platform.

Dennis Peachy, Alf Acroyd and Vincent White all called in for a chat and a cuppa.  The dance on Saturday evening stood in for Pte. Hallet's stag night. Unfortunately the evening passed without incident. On the Sunday we were treated to an excellent flypast by the BBMF Lancaster.
