On Sunday 4^th May between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the New Milton Recreation Ground will come alive for New Milton’s Commemoration of the ending of the Second World War in Europe – VE80 Get-Together.

 

It is hoped that the New Milton Community will come together for a Military and 40’s Themed event, with all the traditional activities that will provide fun and interest for everyone of all ages.  The Performance Pavilion will stage, the Wessex Military Band, 3 of The Military Wives Choirs, a Vera Lynn Tribute and much more.  On the field, there will be children’s entertainments of the era, a WWII Exhibition of the impact of WWII on New Milton, Displays and tasters of Wartime Rations and other foods and much, much more. There will also be a BBQ, Lions Refreshment Tent and a Bar contained in an old Fire Engine – and even the kids can get in the Cabin and ‘ring the bell!!’

 

If you would like to be involved with a Stall at this major Community Commemorative Event to promote your cause, grow your membership, recruit volunteers, or just be part of this New Milton Event for all of the Community, then you can see more information and an Application Form at :-  VE80 Commemoration

 

I would also like to remind you of the Commemoration Contact on the previous evening – Saturday 3^rd May, when the Hampshire Police Band will be reminding us of the music of the period and concluding with the usual raft of patriotic music and songs accompanied we hope by much audience participation and flag-waving. A great night for all to remember at The New Milton Memorial Centre.  See the attached Poster for this event.
