It was a huge privilege to have our Lieutenant Governor, Sir Fabian Malbon supporting the event, inspecting the troops in their boxes. There was great TV and radio coverage.
We will be repeating the event on a larger scale this year on 29th August 2008 at the Vale Castle in Guernsey. See you there!!
