This event will be held in the afternoon in St Giles Church and will be followed by a cream tea. All welcome.

He would love to hear of any war-time stories covering such subjects as evacuees, school life, farming changes, the war in the skies, troops billeted in the parish, the Home Guard, rationing, local entertainment and any other wartime topic that will be of interest to the residents of Dallington.
