Lilies on the Land
You have until 17th July to see this wonderful show at The Arts theatre in London. Using hundreds of letters and interviews with women who worked on the land in WW2, the Lions part have created this moving, humorous, life-affirming production. The perfect cast bring these stories to glowing life, and well deserved the rousing cheers at the end of the performance. Thankfully, the theatre is air-conditioned, and on a very hot evening we were comfortable inside the auditorium. Arts Theatre

Petition
reads:
We the undersigned Petition
the Prime Minister to Ensure that the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
is not axed in any defence cuts. It has been suggested that the Battle
of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) - which celebrates the sacrifice of
those who flew during the 2nd World War - will be cut in the next round
of defence cuts. This will be a travesty if it was to go ahead.
The BBMF is said to cost a mere £3m a year, less than 0.1% of
the defence budget.
It is a great delight for all who see their displays, and, if closed,
the memory of 'The Few' will be lost.
Please vote to ensure that the BBMF is not closed. Simply click on the link above, fill in the form and then pass this on.
