THIS year's War and Peace Show was the most successful ever.
Organiser Rex Cadman said military vehicle entries exceeded
every other year and living history entries were higher than ever before.
Speaking at the Show's annual Thank You Dinner, at The Hop
Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent, last Thursday, he said visitor numbers were also up.
The dinner was for people who helped make the Show a
success, each of whom was presented with a special plaque.
"We did have concerns about the 2009 Show, in the light of the
financial difficulties people are facing at this time," he said. "I'm glad to
say our worries were unfounded."
Mr Cadman added that Tonbridge and Malling Council had been
closely involved both in the planning stages and throughout the Show. However
very few problems arose and those that did were dealt with very quickly.
Turning to next year's Show he said there would be major
displays to commemorate the evacuation of Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain,
marking the 70th anniversary of both events. The Show would also
celebrate the 65th anniversary of the end of the War in Europe.
The 2010 War and Peace Show will be held at The Hop Farm,
Paddock Wood, from 21 to 25 July.
