paul b Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 The LMPS was one of the first groups of re-enactment and MV vehicle owners. At the time it was one of the largest in the country, based at Alford in Lincolnshire. Monthly meetings were held where you were expected to attend in uniform. The membership covered a wide area of the country and mambers travelled long distances to attend. They always had a wide choice of events to attend.A monthly magazine and a ladies section magazine were published, so interesting and informative that articles from same have now been published in book form. The club had the use of a guard house building on ex RAF Manby airfield, with bunkhouse facilities for training weekends. As well as Christmas parties members were invited to 1940's dances and social gatherings, usually free to members.For many years the club was run by Trevor and Amber Budworth, with a committee. Trevor ran a small military supply shop in Alford - at the time ex military uniforms had to be modified to fit, or made to measure - no reproductions were available. On more than one occasion I have heard it said that if we were doing Dads Army then Trevor would have had to be Walker (the spiv). As an ex serviceman he was always anxious for the club to make donations to military service charities. After the leadership of the club passed on to other people the membership declined and the club has now been disbanded (the end of an era).
