Ours is looking good, lots of vehicles, military and civilian, more than ever showing an interest, and the bandstand will be better than ever.
Some of our people will be with you for your weekend as well. - 15 May 2008 18:252144Definitely going to both events (I hope). Is there anything different up the Western Heights this year Paul?
