AlienFTM Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Jack, Thanks for the update. When do they think it will be open to the public? We will be in the UK for 3 months fron 30th May 2009.Regards Rick It's open now. Like the Mermaid theatre, it never closed. The new building will be "officially" opened next year sometime. As an RAC alumnus and regular contributor the restoration fund, I expect an invite. DRAC even promised my name on the roll of honour for those who coughed up under the scheme. We shall see on that last bit. On Saturday, BBC South will be there to do an "Antiques Roadshow" style programme, free entrance and a chance to experience the trenches as the 90th anniversary of the Armistice comes around. I considered turning up in 15/19H blazer and tie with medals, but really didn't fancy having my arm tugged by an eight-year-old: "Mister, mister, what did you do in the Great War?"

AlienFTM Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Alien, What did you do in the Great War?? in fact what did you do in the Cold War? Bazz pmsl Go away in short sharp and jerky movements observing a Regimental Pause of 2 - 3. You are not eight years old. In fact you were there when I joined. Can't you remember then? In the Cold War, my lasting memory is of ... getting cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynx42 Rick Cove Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I knew that the GDSF was at the end of August or beginning of September. I don't know why I said November. We are over there for 112 days, so I hope to catch up with a few of you. regards Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
