We have lots going on in the
next few months
On the 5th April we
have arranged a coach tour to the ghost villages of Stanta Training area, the
whole area was closed to the public in 1942, and is now used for military
training. The inhabitants were given 2 weeks to leave their homes and were
relocated to other local villages, one lady ‘Muriel’ coming to Carbrooke, she
was rehoused on Broadmoor Road, in a house which has since been demolished to
make way for the new houses on ‘Muriel Way’ . The trip has proved so popular
that the coach is now full, but we hope to be able to arrange another trip next
year.
We are still in the planning stages of other
talks of interest, but please keep the weekend of 1st/2nd
July free for our major event in Carbrooke
Carbrooke
Festival 1st & 2nd July,
