GALTRES ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE
A VARIED PROGRAMME!
Continuing its strategy of providing entertainment for everyone, the Galtres Centre embarks on a war theme for some future presentations and also a complete contrast, the Grumbleweeds and fun!

The illustrated talk will cover the involvement of the base and the bomber attacks on Germany, and a history of what and who were at the base, and the sorties they dangerously flew.
Alan has the details of all the raids that were made on Germany and the evening promises to be exciting and informative.
From the proceeds of the evening a donation will be made to the RAF Benevolent Fund/RAF Linton memorial room.
Continuing the war theme on October 6th, at 7:30pm. Dr. Mark Baldwin will present a two hour programme based on the code breakers at Bletchley Park and especially the Enigma machine, the machine the Germans used for coding messages and which the Allies had to decipher.
