Welcome to this May edition of our newsletter for 2009 events season.
Whatever type of event you are holding whether it be a summer fete or county show, providing adequate food and drink facilities are an important and essential part of organising any event. With mobile caterers specialising in a wide variety of refreshments including ice creams, smoothies, crepes etc, as well as traditional fast foods there is something to suit everyones taste.

With the weathermen forecasting that this summer is going to be hotter than usual ice cream van operators and cold refreshment sellers are going to be in great demand. Therefore it's important that you have booked your mobile caterer or ice cream seller sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

D-Day 65th anniversary events
Last year we were very lucky to spend a few days helping to escort two US WW2 veterans from the Band of Brothers, Don Marlarkey and Earl McClung around the UK. We spent a morning at Upottery airfield, an afternoon at Aldbourne in Wiltshire, a day at the War and Piece Show and finally took them to Portsmouth to continue their trip. Anyway, while we were at the show remembering and mentioning the TV series and that the troops were given ice cream as a last treat before setting off on the night before D-Day. Our Dawn said to Don and Earl "do you want an ice cream?", both said yes and then Earl turned round and said "I didn't get any ice cream, only officers got ice cream, Spielberg got it wrong". "We shall put that right" she said and set off to get two ice creams in cups (old men, book signing and cones don't mix well). Several minutes later she returned with two cups of ice cream complete with wafers, flakes and plastic spoons. The ice creams were thoroughly enjoyed with Earl saying to Don "I had to wait 64 years for my ice cream".
If you bump into any Normandy veterans at commemorative events and celebrations over the next few weeks take a few minutes to say hello, shake their hands and let them tell you about their D-Day. You'll be glad you did.
