Had a LOVELY sketch sent to me today (or was it last night) of someone's proposed display.

Simplicity itself but tells a wonderful story....
I hope they don't mind me sharing it with you - Can you guess who it is yet???? :lol:

Ramping up now - Some stupendous displays going in. Anti aircraft detachment - Remagen Bridge, Rommel's HQ, Bedouin Oasis, OstFront Trench System, Fall of France - Both Sides, Home Front Ministry of Food, GI Pre-embarkation Camp, Soldatenheim Rest Area, God - too many to mention......... I want to thank all the people who have come together and are travelling huge distances in some cases to be with us. Just trying to add to the prop bank by ordering a load of greenery and some timber planking for use in displays - We love a bit of shrubbery we do! :mrgreen:

Hi, please could you tell me what hours reenactors are able to get in, and what they need to prove they are part of the displays?
