Hi
please post here if you are coming. Indicate what unit you wish to join.
Unit commanders will be appointed on the day.
Further details of the game plan will be posted nearer the time and will depend on numbers.
Certainly up for this one, but I have a family commitment that weekend so I may or may not be able to come. I'll know nearer the time but it depends on my brothers work schedule.

I might be interested. Have to check, if my home front will approve. Do you have some kind of list that shows people already signed up - like other event organisers do?
Trying to rustle up a squad of our 34th lot, will let you know how many we can get together 
It looks like 5 of us so far 
Great if you can get your booking in that would be great.
I take it you need payment as soon as possible?
