The story is told entirely throughthe experiences of the young Germanrecruits and highlights the tragedy of warthrough the eyes of individuals. A landmarkof American cinema and a highly emotivefilm, which fixed the popular image of whatit was like in the trenches.

This will be the 6th year that the Spratand Winkle Run for commercial vehicleshas been running from Sevenoaks downto Hastings to bring the Hastings Weekcelebrations to a close. The run started asan idea by the London & South East Areaof the Commercial Vehicle Society whowere looking for a seaside destination forone of their old commercial vehicle runs.The Historic Commercial Vehicle Societywas founded in 1958 by a group ofenthusiasts who between them ownedless than a dozen preserved commercialvehicles . Today the Society has nearly2000 members who own 4,500 vehicles,such has been the growth of interest inthe preservation of commercial roadvehicles. Probably the best known of our

the annual London to Brighton run held onthe first sunday in May. Further informationcan be found at the society`s website at oremail at

The Sprat & Winkle Run attracts around 70different commercials including buses andcoaches, and now is a permanent fixtureon the preservation scene, so please comealong to the Stade to have a good look atthe vehicles and feel free to chat to theowners and drivers who have come downto Hastings, we look forward to meetingyou.The event is named The Sprat And WinkleRun because the finish is at The Stade,Winkle Island, so we send a load of Spratsto catch the Winkle!!

SUPPORTED BY

Why Hastings Week?

14th October (now Hastings Day) was thedate in 1066 when King Harold lost theBattle of Hastings. William Duke ofNormandy, who was using Hastings as hisbase, then claimed the crown and changedthe way England was governed forever. Healso gave us the English language. In 1966the 900th anniversary of the Battle wascelebrated and it was such a success thatHastings Borough Council decided to markthe date every year as Hastings Day. For atime it was just a day of activities but it hasgrown over the years to become a week-longcelebration of art, music, walks, sport,events, and exhibitions.The Hastings Week programme of events isput together by a band of volunteers on theHastings Week Committee who give up theirtime freely; and we thank them for theircontinued support and enthusiasm.

The Bowskill TrophyPresented in memory of Cyril Bowskill who,with his wife Joan, was a great supporter ofHastings Week. From a majority vote based onpublic nominations, it is given to a person,group or organisation who has done most topromote the prestige of the week. Certificatesof Merit are given to ‘Runners up’. Everyoneworks so hard for the success of HastingsWeek, it is always difficult to choose but it isgood, and very necessary to showappreciation.Nomination Forms can be obtained from theHastings Week Committee Secretary.

Thank YouTo the public and all participants whosupport everything with good cheer andenthusiasm, making it all worthwhile.The Advertisers who support ourprogramme and make it financiallyviable.The Hastings Week Committee for theirwork throughout the year.The support of the Mayor and ofHastings Borough Council’s Marketing& Communications Department,particularly Kevin Boorman.The media for their publicity before,during and after the weekTo

Chloe Stretton andHannah Burgess who will beappearing at many of the events duringthe week.

Laylah Dobinson, Miss Hastings,and her attendants
