Busy Sunday

The museum had a busy Sunday on June 24th !

In the museum we welcomed a party of guys from Newcastle in Thetford for stag party.Chris Higgins ties the knot in October and came to the home of Dad’s Army as they are all fans of the show.After a Thetford locations tour they spent some time in the museum.

The rest of the team were attending the Desert Rats Day,a special day to mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein.

As you can see our Captain Mainwaring (Mick Whitman) was told to smarten up by a much higher ranking officer !

More pictures & story to follow.
