Allied Forces Movement Control Northern Division - Annual Mess Luncheon
On Sunday 27th March I was lucky enough to have been invited as representative of Ryedale Folk Museum to the AFMC annual mess luncheon in Pickering. I was invited as 'guest of honour' and enjoyed wonderful hospitality and a delicious three course meal! AFMC have been working with Ryedale Folk Museum for some years now and have helped to make Junes 1940s weekend event a really wonderful feature on the museums calendar. This years event 4th -5th June will feature re-enactments, activities and more. There will also be an evening 1940s village hall dance with live performance from Miss Marina Mae. Tickets for the evening are available now, see the website for details or give the museum a call. I would like to thank AFMC for all their help and support during our events and for all their wonderful contributions over the years. CG.
End of WW2
After 14 days of WW2 events today peace broke out, and the men returned to the village to be greeted by their sweethearts. (Thanks to Malton School) John L.
