Easter Monday and its raining! Nine days into the month and still no confirmation that all the material for the Newsletter is at the printers. It seems most unlikely that it will be out in time to pick up a few more guests for the trip to Kew on 25th.

Steve Hawkshaw has emailed to say that the British Forces weekend in SOUTHPORT will run on 30th June/1st July at Princes Park from 11:00 to 17:30 with free entry. Participants are as follows:

Saturday, 30th, Southport Veterans Day Carnival 13:00 Lead by the Royton ATC Band and RAF Woodvale University Squadron

Sunday 1st July Southport Falkland 30th Anniversary and BAFD Parade
10:30 Lead by the Welsh Guards Band (not confirmed)
RBL Riders Branch to take part.

Bar and Entertainment in the Town Hall Gardens
Royal Signals Motorbike Display on the park

In addition there will be a Falklands Display in Southport Town Hall From June 25th.

Press coverage is declining now that the anniversary of the invasion is over but I expect coverage will continue and then pick up again in June.
