does anyone on this forum have this landrover as i have some paperwork for them that would increase the vehicles value by ?

ok here is one set of rules but the set we will use is done with round balls instead of cheeses The skittles are about 15 cm high, cylindrical at the bottom but widening higher up then tapering to a shallow point, which leaves them slightly top heavy. Traditionally the skittles and the cheeses are made of English hardwood. The cheeses measure about 10cm across For each turn a player throws three balls at the skittles which start standing in the classic diamond pattern. If all the skittles are toppled after the first or second throws, they are reset and the player throws his remaining balls at the newly set skittles, adding his scores together. Theoretical a player might knock down all nine skittles with the first throw and do the same on their second throw, offering the possibility of the skittles being set up a third time for the final balle and a maximum theoretical score of 27 points. have the lads who are going to set up being issued with body armour this year and have life insurance policies given to them

neil your thinking of cricket :whistle: distance stays the same all ages as balls can roll as slowly as anyone speed doesnt sometimes help so trying to throw as hard as you can can be a hindrance more than a help or trying to throw as a grenade will not work either

the problem seems to be that most people don't seem to understand that the 11am-11-11 is a recognised time for all to remember the past this was because that was when the first world war ceasefire was declared but this time has become time to remember all service men who have died in all conflicts old and new i respect all ex serving and still serving members of all forces UK and otherwise as most are volunteers who decide to serve their countries at the risk of their lives :police: the Belgium people remember daily at the menin gate so the sacrifice of so many is never forgotten i guess most councils now are run by people who have never served and don't realise the comradeship felt by all ex members the only politicions that understand never seem to go far but those who have never served will always stand at the cenotaph and say look I'm hear :whistle:

well after just getting back from ypees i ended up laying a cross at hill 60 amongst the broken trees for our man will post a pic when i work out how to transfer from my phone to here a very moving day going round the various cemetarys there around passingdale sorry if spelling bad but after 4am start and 1.30am finish im knackered congratulations on your day at thetford and your tribute

:goodmorning: ok to stop all the quareling over who i will be playing for :angry: the answer is :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: and sorry jack but im originallly a somerset lad so i cant play for dorset for anyone :whistle: but a chance for the plains team is possible as will be helping set up the signs the essex lads would be second and vic and rambo's team would be next if not enougth members for a team then one member would go again twice but only once as for under 18's then the pub would have to make the decision about in the skittle alley

if you've played ten pin bowling before its similar except smaller balls :-D9 skittles and a shorter alley but the london lads last year picked it up quickly and came near the top im resigning my title this year and will join a team :shocking: rules are simple you have three balls and you need to get at many skittles down as possible per turn :banana: if teams then 5 people per team and trophy's will go to winning team and highest scoring player overall :dancinggirls: hope this helps

right tony i will start the ball roling with a definate 1 rmp landrover 109 softtop with 9x9 and camo definatly down friday am dept mon pm will help with signs from 303 for convoys if req

one other choice is to contact the school at thetford to see if they are intersted as he joined there and his name is on the memorial the school would keep his name alive

have just read the attack details again so the troops were between beugny and fremicourt quote:- Battalion moved to assembly positions, South of railway, between FREMICOURT & BEUGNY prior to attack on BEUGNY village and objective East of village so if you look at the map on page 5 you will see that very close together as for the exact position he died i dont think we would ever know as lines moved quickly my best advice as to where to place the stone would be to contact the church where he was christened and see if his stone could be laid to rest there or at the norfolks regiment museum where it would be given proper place of remberance along with all the information we have found out about him so all would know about this one soldier especially if we get a photo of him

no he was injured in 1917 and killed ina seperate action 1918

the raid that is written is the earlier raid in 1917 where he was injured the raid wherehe was killed has yet to be put up

well i had a friend go out for me one duty :police: and he came back in a bag so anything for ex forces personel will always be high on my list

well just being able to help one soldiers memorial find a rightfull place is enougth for me i hope that whever it is placed in france or where he was born the memorial for one soldier would stand for all soldiers who died on 11th nov i will be over the water at a remberance service so will place a small cross for our soldier and also for all soldiers who have died

so is this coming to the plains to play or will you be white with the ferret again

new buckinhham is 18 miles from thetford between diss and attlebroke and i see there is a church street so hopefully a village church with a graveyard

the link for 15th brigade comes from http://www.warpath.orbat.com/divs/5_div.htm#15_bde where it shows the 1st norfolk was at the second battle of bapaume during the time he lost his life and bapaume is less than 5 miles from beugny probably the front line was at beugny on the 2nd sept if anyone has a trench map 57c nw4 we could confirm this
