Cakes and raffle prizes can be left at the hall during the day on Friday or Saturday morning, thank you.
The event itself will include the prize winning re-enactment group ‘Barbed Wire and Bunting’ with a women’s land army display and WW2 military lorry, plus other vintage vehicles.
There will be an exhibition of Mountfield at War and a WW2 display of artefacts from Robertsbridge Aviation Museum.
There will be 1940’s music, and people will be invited to dress in period costume, with a prize for best dressed.
Ploughman’s lunches will be served (1-3pm) plus tea, coffee and cakes all afternoon along with the Mountfield Club bar.
Entry will be by donation, supporting village hall funds. The committee hope that this will be an opportunity for the village to get together in commemoration of this historic event and have some fun. See poster below.
