By 11am Gang Warily was full of over 60 vendors providing food, drink, goods for sale, and information. HMS Sultan chu ed around the eld delighting people with rides and the petting farm with baby goats was particularly popular. ere were two food areas, one by the lake where visitors enjoyed the model boats. Other attractions included a fun fair, a Circus Workshop, Penalty Shoot Outs and an assault course for children. Chairman Alan Alvey opened the show and thanked the main sponsors, ExxonMobil, County Councillor Alexis McEvoy and, of course, the MOD. He said, “It was great to see so many serving members and veterans by Fawley Parish Council to be part of Fawley Armed Forces Day following the announcement that they could not go ahead with their show this year. ey brought along over 150 classic cars and military vehicles, including ‘Herbie’. ‘Captain America’ also turned up and had a lot of fun meeting the children and riding around on vehicles he recognised! Fawley Show also organised the music which delighted a large audience throughout the day, nishing up with the Soul Catchers. Helen Porteus of Fawley Show said, “It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to reach out to the community by collaborating with Fawley Parish Council’s Armed Forces Day, putting Fawley on the map.” As promised, at precisely 15.38 the main attraction of the day, a Supermarine Spit re did three low passes over the show, the distinctive throaty rumble of the engines and iconic silhouette brought a few to happy tears. And as her engines faded into the distance the estimated crowd of around 4000 started to make their tired, and happy way home.

Broken metal frames are sold for scrap as they cannot be mended. Once processed and sorted by Chichester Club Lions and volunteers in their specialist workshop they are sent to Medico France in Le Havre where the necessary equipment is used to clean and grade the spectacles ready for use in eye camps in Africa, India and Eastern Europe. Every year UK Lions send over 300,000 pairs of spectacles to Le Harve providing more than 50% of the spectacles processed by Medico France - more than any other national group including France itself. Romsey & Waterside Lions collect over 12,000 pairs each year. e Herald o ce in Hythe is currently assisting as a collection point for unwanted spectacles in the Waterside area.
