Sheffield Park - Sussex - Canadian WW2

I would be very pleased to bring my 1943 C60S Wrecker to this. Please add me to your list. I am sure JAmes Baxter will also be interested with his HUP and perhaps James Gosling with one or more of his vehicles. I will give them a nudge!

Good luck with dealing with the NT though.....(and I speak as a Life Member)

Thanks
John

Hi, I would be happy to bring along the Lynx and if Pete is free the C15TA, I'm sure Andy would bring his C15A.

Hi Tim,

Please can you also add James Baxter and his HUP to your list of potential vehicles.
He is unable to access MLU at the moment.
Thanks

All

An update...

They hope to have the memorial sorted and tree planted by March 2018 with a replacement Nissen hut built soon after.

The formal dedication of the memorial and opening of the nissen hut is penciled in for 21st July 2018.

This is the weekend before War and Peace.

This would be a 1 day event at present - with no facility for overnight parking/camping.

Hopefully being the weekend before W&P, people going there would be happy to do this on the way... and those not going there wont care?

What are your thoughts on this date - is this a bad choice?

I have suggested to them that they put a facebook page together to advertise this further - and provide regular updates on what they are doing.

Hopefully I can then link that page here, so that you can all talk direct to them.

I have also asked them to let me know what exactly is planned for 21st and will advise asap.

Cheers

Tim

Official Exhibition Opening day - Saturday 21st July 2018.

For this the National Trust would like at most 12 x WW2 Canadian Vehicles and any uniformed reenactors with appropriate equipment related to the time period.

It is a one-day event - and there is no overnight option here.

For those still interested, please send me a PM and I will give you the email address of the person you need to book in with.

I am still waiting for NT to update their website and launch a Facebook group for this - when they do, I will update this page with the details.

Many thanks for your support.

Tim
