The BHP’s first fund raising event will be the Classic Car Show on Saturday August 30th. We need to generate funds, for as you can see, we do not charge for talks or open days at the Heritage Centre but we obviously have outgoings. Since all the vehicles are 20th Century including WW2 vehicles, we are happy to consider this a history project! The BHP covers a huge range of Boxford History, dating from 6000BC to 1999AD and to that end we will be giving an exhibition of the most important, including some from WW2, in the Village Hall!
This event is being co-ordinated by Andy Brown in Westbrook. He is looking for additional volunteers for marshalling both visitors car parking and ticket office in Bell Meadow between 12.00 -16.00 and Classic Cars entering through the Recreation Ground from 10.00 – 12.00. He is also looking for extra bar help – not usually a difficult problem! He’s hoping that helpers will be covering only hourly slots if he has enough volunteers. Importantly, he’s looking for help to set up on Friday 29th afternoon and even more importantly to clear away on Sunday morning – men and ladies with muscles most welcome – exact times to be discussed.
Further information and offers of help especially please contact Andy asap: 07720 885915 or email andytammy@aol.co.uk>
