Red Tower Training Camp 13th - 14th March 10
Once again we decided to hold our annual camp at the Red Tower in Mellieha. It was not a very intensive weekend, focussing on lectures rather than route marches. Spending time together we learnt alot about eachother and enjoyed eachother's company.

George Cross Commemoration 15th April 10
What has now become an annual event organised by the Malta Tourism Authority, the George Cross Ceremony Re-enactment is also one of our favourite events.
This event is held at St. George's Square in Valletta, also known as the Main Guard, just where the real event had taken place way back in 1943. We are proud to say that this year everything went well and without any hitches.
Check out the photos.

Aviation Museum open weekend 10th - 11th April 10
As a sign of gratitude towards the Aviation Museum's staff for allowing us to use their premises for our training, meetings etc. We gladly took part in this annual open weekend. Unfortunately due to many other things happening on the island on this weekend, attendance wasn't satisfactory. Nonetheless those who came were very glad to see us and our weapons display. Our Kraut friends from Kampfgruppe-Sud and Ramcke Brigade were also present for this event.

Sette Giugno filming 2nd May 10
Some of our lads were involved in a local production about the history of our capital city, Valletta. For this event we took the role of British colonial soldiers during the 7 June riots of 1919.
British troops were brought up to Valletta on the day to defend important buildings from angry rioters who overwhelmed the soldiers which resulted in shots being fired at the crowds. Four Maltese were killed and many others were injured in this somewhat controversial episode of Maltese history.
Once finished, this production will be shown to tourists and visitors to our history packed Capital City.

Luqa at War 15th May 10
We were very happy to take part in this event following a very courteous invitation by the organizers. Unlike last year we did not put up any battles due to the limited space. However the weapons and skills displays were attended with much interest. We thoroughly enjoyed the feedback from the public especially the older generations who still remember the war.

Senglea Maritime Festival 5th June 10
This event was organised by the Senglea Local Council as part of the European Destination of Excellence (EDEN) Project. Senglea has had, since its founding, a strong tie with military, especially Naval culture. This Maritime Festival paid tribute to the glorious years when every corner of Grand Harbour thrived with business thanks to the Royal Navy. During WW2 the Royal Malta Artillery was also a very common feature in Senglea due to the many LAA positions surrounding the inner Harbour area.

Xaghra 40's Night 19th June 10
This event was organised by the Xaghra Local Council. Unfortunately, as what happens with many firsts, our first 40's Night didn't attract much of a crowd, but, we are hoping, this will be the springboard to future more successful events of the kind.
As you can see in the photo we were very happy to host some of our wives and children who gave a good show in their 40's dresses.

Summer get together 9th June 10
As the summer heat kicked in we all met up for a get together dinner to welcome our friend Ramon back to Malta. Order of dress was walking out, and true to his re-enacting spirit, Ramon turned up in full US Army uniform for the occasion. A very enjoyable evening followed, where we all discussed past and future events as well as ongoing projects.

Allies meet Axis BBQ 28th August 10
A very enjoyable night was held between Malta Command and our friends from Brigade Ramcke Sud. This event was merely a social one where we all met up for a chat and some good food. The barbeque was held at Red Tower, Mellieha from where we enjoyed the splendid views of Malta and Gozo. It was very interesting to learn about each other's military interests and also some funny stories!
