The Lancashire Telegraph has got it wrong again. To anyone involved in organising the Battle of Britain event at Lock St - I NEVER claimed to have organised the event. I clearly said in the press release who had organised it and I DIDN'T try to claim credit for something that I was nothing to do with.

I'm mortified that they have made yet another mistake and I now have to chase around making sure everyone knows.

The text below is the information I sent to them on behalf of a friend

St Mary’s parish centre, Oswaldtwistle held a Battle of Britain party on Friday (18th Sept) to raise money for charity.

Brian Flynn was particularly instrumental in the success of the event by organising, songs, speeches and newsreels from the time, plus providing air raid sirens. Many people dressed up in period dress (see photo attached of Clive Yates and Gladys Kenyon).

The room was decorated with sand bags, flags, posters of the time, bunting, bombs through the wall, guns, camouflage netting and a DVD projected on to the walls of the Battle of Britain.

Some money raised will go towards the centre remaining open, the rest will go to a charity.
