BMMHS Launches New Schedule of Events for 2021

Here at BMMHS we have been working on an exciting schedule of BMMHS Events for 2021. COVID-19 remains an uncertainty for all of us so it has necessitated some changes from the schedule we originally had planned for you last year.

Next year in 2021 we will be holding two events per month:

  •  A Zoom talk on the first Tuesday of each month at 2pm
 A Zoom talk on the first Tuesday of each month at 2 pm
WAAF Radar Operator Zoom
BMMHS Zoom Talks
  • A meeting with a talk on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm.      Whilst we still have restrictions with COVID, all the scheduled Woodcote village hall talks will be replaced by the same Zoom talk at the same time. 
BMMHS Meetings
A meeting with a talk on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm
BMMHS Colditz Meeting
BMMHS Meetings may be switched to a Zoom Talk at short notice due to COVID

All speakers and their talks (both Zoom and live ones) are already booked up until June 2021.

Do always check out our website www.bmmhs.org  for the latest up to date information on talks, COVID etc

Thank for your continued support….together we can ride out the storm

Chris Finn

BMMHS Virtual Talks

Battlefield Guide and  RAF Group Captain Chris Finn gave an outstanding talk via Zoom last evening to the BMMHS about the Battle of Imjin in 1951 during the Korean War.   Describing in detail the role of the Royal Artillery in this strategic battle in trying to protect the route to Seoul from the People’s Liberation Army (the Chinese Army),  Chris  told of the intensity of the fighting over a 4 day period against  overwhelming odds.  In this short time, the RA fired more rounds than the entire Falklands War, firing thousands of rounds in the most difficult of conditions.  

An excellent presentation, very well explained with maps and photos, the Zoom talk with a lengthy and interesting Q&A afterwards was very well received.

Many thanks Chris.  We look forward to another talk from you in the not too distant future.
