Hungerford Arcade hold this event each year thanks to Gary and June Crook who bring their ‘army’ of friends to this great event with the aim of raising money for The Royal British Legion. This being the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI makes it even more special. The drivers bring their own vintage military vehicles along and dress in the forces uniform of the time. They are very special people and like to have a chat about their historic vehicles and what they do with them during the year. Children love it. We are also hoping that a Dad’s Army Platoon will return this year to give us some leadership!
This year, we are very grateful to the Guides who will be here to help. Please do come along and give your support to this great event. One of the Arcade’s windows is given over every year to commemorate the Armed Forces. This year, with the help of Di Lock from The Royal British Legion, it will be decorated to commemorate the centenary.
Emma and Alex at the Hungerford Bookshop are throwing open the bookshop doors this Saturday evening (6:30-8:30) to celebrate Bookshop Day and Tessa’s 40 Years as a Bookseller. There will be wine, cake, a book lucky dip, 10% off all stock and general bookish bonhomie. See attached invitation.
Hope you can all make it and support your local bookseller.
