Yup, think I can feel another 'I'm just off to the shower block, dear/having a quick pint' coming on again this year :)

Plus, your tea & doughnut wagon is a little oasis for us German mechanics!

Thanks to all that came along and put their hands in their pockets, we raised a massive £547.07 for the Army Benevolent Fund this year, smashing last years total.

We had a brilliant night, hope you all did too.

Thanks again.
Mick.

Yes, thanks for an excellent night mate and also for you and your guys help in the battle, did exactly what was required of you without any problems whatsoever, safe to say you'll be in there next year if you're up for it! :wink:

That’s ok Hennig, a common mistake and as it happens their was a Red Bull Division, 34th Infantry Division (North Africa and Italy, 1943-45) but not who we re-enact :wink:

We all had a good time in the battle, thanks for the invite, definitely up for it next year :D .
