Thanks for that Max. I'd heard about it but didn't know where the venue was.
It's a pity it's so far away from Passchendaele.
Security issues seems a bit weak for not holding it in Belgium.
Those grand lads on the Salient didn't bottle it when faced with their security issues.

True!  If you haven't read it yet, may I recommend the latest history "Passchendaele - a new history" by Nick Lloyd.  A sobering read.
