Standards of all local organisations are invited to attend. Be there for 10.00 hours.

This year, just to jog memories, there will be a plane towing a message flying around the city centre for one hour on Saturday, June 27. Also for the first time, there will be a challenge for the various cadet forces to undertake and a cup will be presented to the winners on Sunday. The Armed Forces Challenge Cup has been provided by PACE.
