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.

Your damn if you do and damn if you don't with the press Gayle, they are a law unto themselves and I'm sure their motto is why let the truth get in the way of a good story
