Thanks ... and a reminder

Thanks to everyone who responded to yesterday's blog entry about the campaign to try to save the Royal Artillery Museum FIREPOWER in Woolwich. I understand that over 200 people signed the e-petition yesterday, and I suspect that quite a few of them did so as a result of my blog entry, my Facebook entry, and my message on The Miniatures Page (TMP).

The Milton Hundred Wargames Club will be running the BROADSIDE wargames show in Sittingbourne next Sunday. I hope to go ... and if you live in Kent or South East London and have not yet been to this show, I thoroughly recommend that you go along.


The venue is the Swallows Leisure Centre, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME10 4NT. Entry cost is £3.00 ... and women and children can get in for free!

  5. Wg Cdr Luddite,

    Many thanks for signing the e-petition.

    I hope that it will make a difference ... and every additional signature strengthens our argument in favour of keeping the museum open.

    All the best,

    Bob

  6. Irishhighlander,

    Thanks for you support. Even if you cannot sign the petition, the fact that you wanted to helps us to feel that the struggle is worthwhile.

    I have visited the Citadel in Halifax, and was most impressed by the enthusiasm of the young people who took on the various roles of the garrison.

    All the best,

    Bob
