Dear all, just a reminder that tomorrow the scouts, cubs and guides (in addition to the Beckworth re-enactors) will be re-enacting, in real time, the D-Day landings, just as we did five years ago. To prepare and rehearse many streets of Beckworth will be closed today and Sainsco carpark will be out of service just in case the visiting president of the USA and family drop by to watch and need somewhere to park their long cars. Scout leader Sir Bob-bob-bob-dib-dib-dib Geldof will put his “troops” through their final paces to perfectly act out the Allie’s beach landing on the school playing fields (weather permitting). It’s only taken over 5 months rehearsing, but the boys and girls are now almost word perfect. The  men, women and gender fluid members of the Beckworth & Crewbury Historical Re-enactors will be enthusiastically playing the Germans, which they did with such relish in 2014 (even hospitalising some of the “enemy”). Tomorrow promises to be a moving day out for all the family who can skive off work and school.

See you “on the beaches.” Thanks Tony Grimsby, Group Scout Leader
