It's an amazingly busy weekend. Rolls Royce and Western Heights, but also the Dover-Calais Festival of Sport and ... the Evacuee reunion.
Articles about evacuees have been in the papers recently building up to the 70th anniversary of the day 3,000 Dover schoolchildren and teachers left for safety in South Wales. This was one of the reassuring postcards sent back home.
But was it always like this? We'll find out on 6th June, as John Lockyer, a former evacuee, has been arranging the Reunion of Evacuees. With thanks to David Ridley and Terry Sutton there'll be a service at St Mary's, Cannon Street, at 1045, followed by coffees at St Mary's Parish Hall, and in the afternoon, from 1.30 - 5 John has organised the Town Hall for a "Seventy Years On" reunion, with, we understand, the BBC present.
All go in Dover!
