The Home Front - 15 April 2005

A full hall gathered to listen to Alan Payne talk (Friday 15 April) on the Home Front and show his wonderful collection of artifacts. Several of the audience had memories of the times and Alan was thrilled to be offered a stirrup pump afterwards to add to his collection. Afterwards everyone had a chance to look more closely (and if certain men looked rather too closely at Jane we'll keep quiet about it!) and enjoy wartime recipe biscuits with their tea and coffee. £97 was raised towards the forthcoming VE day celebrations.
