We had a great evening at portishead rotary club, one night in 1940.
It was a fund raising event with 1940 tea and costumes where provided which gave the whole evening the atmosphere of 1940. We even had a air raid during the evening and we all made our way( very slowly) to the air raid shelter.
The air raid wardens made sure we where all safe. the land girls milked a cow and the home guard where showing just what they where capable of as they marched up and down the hall.
A great evening with lots of laughs and some local people giving their stories from the war brought it all home to us and made us all stop and think.
