http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town. Informing you about their lives through the mediums of words, images, an interactive map and stereophonic sound recordings Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:56:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/beckworth-crewbury-historical-re-enactors/come-celebrate-the-100th-anniversary-of-man-walking-on-the-moon/ http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/beckworth-crewbury-historical-re-enactors/come-celebrate-the-100th-anniversary-of-man-walking-on-the-moon/#comments Sat, 13 Jul 2019 14:22:22 +0000 a resident of Beckworth http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/?p=8040 Continue reading →]]> Just a reminder that next Saturday, from 2pm, we will be recreating what was probably Man’s First Walk On The Moon in the sandpit of the childrens play area next to the sports field. This is our most ambitious and most daring re-enactment yet and will feature a scale model of the Apollo 11 rocket pretending to take off (from the car park), simulate flying about a bit and then quickly touching down on the moon (the sand pit). From there our two intrepid “astronauts” Lee Armstrong and Buzz Aldridge will act out descending to the moons surface (the sand pit) to take samples of moon dust (sand) and to pitch a tent… Then after an hour or so of walking and jumping about it’ll be back in the rocket to pretend to come home to Earth and splash down in the pond. We’ve even got mock ups of moon rocks and aliens played by many of our members. Its a day to remember, so see you next weekend and lets make (re-enact) history together…. The Beckworth & Crewbury Historical Re-enactors
