England Matches 2 2018 WORLD CUP summary from Tony who kindly volunteered his time to open up the bar outside of the normal opening times. Well done and thank you. The early afternoon weekday opening of the bar for the World Cup Games has proved popular with, on average, between twelve and twenty men and women coming in. The BBQ has also run very successfully and has on occasion sold out. The deals on jugs of Fosters lager, and buckets of five bottled beers or ciders, have also been selling well. Whilst its primary function was for the football, people have also been able to enjoy watching other sports including horse racing at Royal Ascot.
So overall, the lunchtime club has proved to be a successful and happy event. On Sunday the 24 th June there were about 60 people enjoying the England match and eating from the BBQ. World Cup news. From Mark The BBQ as been popular and showing the World Cup at the Comrades Club has brought in some new faces. 4 th BOMBER VETERANS DAY A few of the few 'People from eleven Counties travelled to The Comrades Club on Saturday 2nd June to meet fourteen WW2 RAF veterans, thirteen were from Bomber Command and one was a Battle of Britain Hurricane pilot, one of only ten who are still with us.

These included Tempsford Museum and Archive, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Blenheim Society, The People's Mosquito, Shuttleworth Collection, MacRoberts Reply and Little Gransden Air Show to name but a few. This is now a major annual event honouring all those that gave their all in our country's time of need.
