Bill Fulton us that there is to be another weekend event at Belton Park, this is mostly regarding WWII, however, due to the success of last years WWI event, at which he delivered talks about the MGC connection to Belton, he has been asked to repeat his participation. Bill will be doing 3 x ½ hour sessions throughout the day on Saturday 11th September The next MGC/OCA event is the Lecture & Luncheon at Grantham, 9th Saturday in October at the RAMADA HOTEL, GRANTHAM Prior to the Lecture there will be a service of Remembrance at St Wulfram's Church at 10.45am and local people will be very welcome to join us.

RESEARCH - GREAT NEWS Graham Sacker has made a website especially for those wishing to check his database of MGC men. www.machine-gun-corps-database.co.uk To see a list of countries overseas where we have Graves wanted for our Photographic Project, please see below. If you can help, we will be grateful, contact Judith for details. Articles and photographs are very welcome for the next edition of Emma Gee. The magazine is only as good as members make it by sending in interesting copy. Please help Judith by ensuring that you use Times New Roman 10 point, no indents, 'no prettying up' please. Ensure article and photograph file names link and make sense to others, not just you, e.g. name files '1234 Pt Fred Bloggs'. Making file names such as 'Dad' or 'Grandad in Mespot' will mean absolutely nothing to me if they become detached from your email, waste hours of time and may mean they will not be included!! Thank you for your help. *** Please remember that events require a lot of time and effort to arrange and they are arranged for you to enjoy, do make the effort to attend and make a quick note in your diary so you don't forget. Meet lovely people and visit interesting places. *** The MGC/OCA has a Facebook page, check it out. If there isn't any action on there soon, there won't be a page any longer! Have a chat, get others to join up, communicate. updated 24th June, 2010 Overseas locations: Egypt – Alexandria; Ismailia; Kantara; Port Said; Suez
