Just got back to my room following the
@RIGBY 250th Anniversary celebration - it was quite an event!
- A Rigby workshop workshop with stations set up throughout the HMS victory;
- A tour of the HMS victory;
- Dinner in the gun room of the HMS Warrior;
- Live music;
- A fly over by two World War III Spit Fire planes;
- Fireworks;
- And, of course, meeting a lot of great people!
