Advance Notice - PFS Trip 15 September 2012

A diary date for all PFS members is the 15 September 2012 for a visit to two selected Isle of Wight fortifcations: Fort Bembridge and Steynewood High Angle Battery, both of which normally have limited access, and then possibily the Yaverland Battery too. Details and arrangement are yet to be made, but members are requested to keep this date free for a very interesting day out.
