Great War truck Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well thats alright then. We (that is the North Oxfordshire & Cotswolds MVT) had another event last night. An auction of militaria, book sale and a raffle. This combined with donations collected by Don and Tony gave us a further £383.05. As an Area we are a few pounds short of having raised £800 which was the total we set ourselves, but next Month we should beat that figure. The auction went very well and i was amazed at the generosity of what some people had brought in. RAF escape map, chunks of Spitfires, US and British WW2 webbing and bags and lots of jerrycans. Many thanks to everyone who donated and all those who bought. It was a great evening and all for a cause that we think important.
