As the sun sets we will continue the fun with an extravagant array of evening’s entertainment with the amazing Sugar T and the Swells live band supporting Surrey Jive and the return of our much-loved fire dancers. The food stands will be open to 2300 and the bar till midnight. So please either stay and push through or feel free to pop home for a freshen up and return in your best evening attire.
The show was born from a long standing desire of our Chairman John Dale to marry up his love of historic military vehicles, his farm and the desire to generate support for the Military Vehicle Trust and military charities. Our show is held in support of our chosen Charities which are many and change from year to year.
So this year we will be supporting
Hounds for Heroes.
So recently Neil Sutherland who is a CMVS team member breed his Labrador bitch Prudence and she had 9 smashing fox Red Labrador puppies , he donated one of the boys to Hounds for heroes to grow up with them and be trained as an assistance dog for a veteran.
He was proudly given the title Captain Walter and below is a picture of Captain at 8 weeks of age.He will grow and be trained with foster parents until he’s approximately 15months old, he will then go to his new owner and hopefully make a big change to the veterans life.
So with your help we hope to support Captain through his training.
Combat stress, we will be joined by a team member who will be talking about the charity and how they have helped serving military and also veterans.
SSAFA , always proud to have these guys along for the show and again they will have a great stand with loads to see and buy.
RAF Benevolent fund will be joining us at this years show.
