Get ready to witness an amazing display of skill and precision right in our own car park! Our residents, along with their families and friends, recently enjoyed a fantastic junior field gun exhibition.
This exciting event showcased the dedication and talent of young participants as they demonstrated teamwork and coordination. It was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and appreciate the hard work of these impressive individuals. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and support as everyone cheered on the junior field gun teams.
We're so proud to have hosted this special event and share the highlights with you. Enjoy the thrill of the exhibition!
01:00Now, first action, no input from the staff at the back here.
01:05All the drill is done at school, after hours, for them.
01:13Children, some of them ran at Portsmouth, South Sea Armed Forces Day, some didn't.
01:19They changed in around at the accession.
01:22The guns, they're all made of wood.
01:25The wheels are made of wood, they're all lightweight.
01:28None of the metal was in there.
01:30And that's all made down at the charity workshops in Plymouth.
01:35Okay, when you're ready, can we run back to the second action?
01:40Down five free shells, please.
01:43Again, everything's got to come back from the hole, having taken it apart.
01:55As I said, the children will learn different parts of the wheels.
02:04They don't have to run the same number.
02:07They can instantly change.
02:10There we go, come through, the guns are now going on.
02:16Slight wobble.
02:19Because we've only got two missing, we only have one on the barrel.
02:24There we go, come through.
02:26There we go, come through.
02:27There we go, come through.
02:28There we go, come through.
02:30Lift, lift, lift.
02:32Everybody lifted off, the wheels have changed again.
02:34Put them back where they started.
02:36Go on, carry on.
02:38Go on, carry on.
02:40Go on, carry on.
03:02Ready.
03:03Five.
03:04Five.
03:05Five.
03:06Five.
03:07Five.
03:08Five.
03:09That's the second action complete. As you can see, the distance they've got between the walls and the centre line is very constricted against what they would normally do. Therefore, we tightened and buttoned up from that. However, they still can do it. If you'd like, take them home please.
