Everyone welcome and please come back to Sibsey

Village Hall for free refreshments;

buried in Scotland....

The aircraft and men are buried where they fell; the

ground was too marshy to allow any recovery.

East Kirkby - Lancaster Night Taxy Run and

Firework Display

One of the County's biggest firework displays, and a

night taxy run with Avro Lancaster NX611 at

7.00pm.

Feel the atmosphere of a WW2 airfield at night.

This year’s fireworks will see the culmination of

many years’ experience here at the Centre giving us

the best display we have ever had. Not only will

you be able to see the fireworks you will also be

able to feel their power as they explode and cascade

in the skies over this very historic location.

This is possibly our best value event as you can join

us for 11 hours experiencing the Lancaster taxy runs

at day and night, enjoy a hog roast, play with glow

sticks, watch a WW2 German Searchlight and most

importantly build memories for years to come with

the biggest firework display at the Centre.

SERVICES

Halo Smart Protect is a unique treatment system developed and supplied by All Year Biker.

We all know winter road salt is a killer for bikes, but here are a few things you might not be aware of:

During the rest of the year environmental fall-out, sea spray and even animal waste can cause

corrosion.

In certain conditions animal waste on the roads can be up to 3 times more corrosive than road salt.

Washing alone will not prevent corrosion, in fact trapped cleaning water can often start the process.

Corrosion rarely ‘starts’ where you can see it but once established it can spread alarmingly fast.

There is now a Lincolnshire based Operative, so you can have your bike treated without having to travel

miles. Trevor Bridgwood (Riders Branch Member) is based just outside Lincoln and covers LN, DN and

some NG postcodes. If you are interested in getting your bike protected, then give me a call. For more

information, visit the All Year Biker Facebook page at www.facebook.com/allyearbiker
