Sods law -we're going to stay with friends at Tidworth Sat/ Sun - then off to the IOW on monday

Tickets bought on line are 10 for adults and £8 for kids. plus when you get in there are dodgems, bands, Dakota fly past, bouncy things, bronko billy, fun fair, slides, army demos etc so extra to pay on top but its worth it. Money to Veterans is good as soldiers lose limbs and risk their lives (and lose them) for our country.

I am Army wife in Perham Down, if your DS loves it then he'll really enjoy and all army events are always brilliantly organised in Bulford. (The fireworks are spectacular)

Busman's holiday for DH though, we are off to Switzerland to look for new house and some International Schools. He resigned today so is feeling distinctly "non mil" this week.

As it turned out, i was sorely disappointed with the Festival. Far far smaller than i expected . . .not a lot there to see and do and i paid £40 for me , my dp and son. However, son enjoyed it climbing on tanks, armoured vehicle and seeing a large Gun. Bucking broncho , inflatable, clay pigeon, and Small exotic display.
