Armed Forces Day and Blues and Booze Festival June 25, 2011

The day is primarily about the Armed Forces but it is also very much a family day. We commence with a parade in our historic High Street with representatives from the Armed Forces, cadets, Royal British Legion and our local schools led by a Chinook flying gracefully above at low level, (Odiham is home to the Chinook, something of which we are very proud). We continue to the Bury where the ceremony takes place followed by a final flypast and then seamlessly at noon the Blues Festival starts. Armed Forces personnel mingle with the crowds and meet up with their families. A variety of local beers are on offer,quality ice cream, hogroast, teas and the natural amphitheatre of the church grounds looking towards the stage immediately relax the soul. Parachuting teddy bears from the church tower and the clown are a great attraction for the children too. The event is totally free and there is plenty of parking. Please feel free to contact me, Peter Fountain, should you have any queries. You will be assured of a warm welcome here in Odiham, Hampshire.
