Ramsey 1940's weekend

[Squiggle]

Posted on behalf of Bedford Branch:

We will be attending on Sunday the 23rd August.

NB We CANNOT attend as a club, as this introduces all sorts of
complications - drip trays under cars etc. but we can all attend as
individuals, who just happen to arrive at the same time!

From Ramsey site:

'Ever wondered what it’s like to ride in a tank? Caught the Strictly Come Dancing bug? You can learn to jitterbug and jive to the sounds of the forties during the day.

The retail village will be selling all things forties from uniforms and authentic civilian clothes to CD’s, paintings, postcards and medals.

The site also has a wealth of eating outlets – whether you’re looking for a cup of tea and a hot dog or a hog roast. And the food of the forties isn’t forgotten either, with endless mounds of spam sandwiches also on the menu! There is also a fully licensed bar in the hanger.

Meanwhile, in the town, the shops will put on a 1940s window display. There will also be a special market and other events around the town.

Ramsey 1940s Weekend
Sunday 23rd August 2009

Every year for one weekend in August, Ramsey takes a trip back in time as it returns to the 1940s to remember the sights and sounds of this historic era.

The daytime will see a procession of vintage vehicles, living history displays, aerial displays, dance displays, historical exhibitions, stalls, forties fashion shows and musical entertainment'.
