RALLY FIELD ON COMMERCIAL SITE

Locality: Wash Water is just west of Newbury off the A34. Shopping in Newbury and Basingstoke. Visit the website www.oakleyfarm.co.uk for details.
Newbury was the site of two Civil War battles; the first Battle of Newbury (at Wash Common) in 1643 and the second Battle of Newbury (at Speen) in 1644. The nearby Donnington Castle was reduced to a ruin in the aftermath of the second battle.
The West Berkshire Museum in Newbury is well worth a visit and is housed in two of Newbury's most historic buildings. The Cloth Hall was built in 1626-1627 as a cloth factory and workhouse. The Corn Stores (also known as the Granary) was built circa 1725 following the opening of the River Kennet Navigation. See www.westberkshiremuseum.org.uk for more details.

What's On? We are travelling back in time to May, 1945 and are planning our own Victory in Europe (VE) celebrations over the weekend. The events will include a themed van competition, an authentic 1940's recipe hot meal, a sing along to the popular hits of the era and maybe a dance or two. If you would like to add to the atmosphere please dress up in 1940's style clothes. There will be prizes both for an adult and a child in the most innovative costume. Places are limited to 25 vans so please book early.
