CREWE and District Military Vehicle Club is again hosting Wheels of War 2016 at The Crewe Heritage Centre on September 24 and 25.

Due to the great success of last year’s event, the Club decided to once again hold the event over two days and hold its annual 1940s dance on Saturday evening.

The Dance will replicate a 1940s wartime atmosphere and guests are encouraged to dig out the vintage clothing to complete the theme.

Entertainment will be provided thanks to the Cheshire 20 Big Band, a 20-piece orchestra who emulate traditional big bands, and Offbeat Brewery will be assisting with the bar service for what promises to be a memorable evening.

The themed evening will also include a meal as part of this year’s ticket price.

Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 5pm will see the Crewe Heritage Centre filled with dozens of vintage, classic military vehicles, Second World War-period model displays and dioramas along with mini working steam engines, rail carriages and working shunt engines.

There will also be local trade and memorabilia stands and someone playing a First World War soldier fresh from the trenches giving an insight into the hardships of being a soldier in 1915.

The weekend is being held to raise funds for the clubs nominated charity Help for Heroes.

Phillip Podmore, one of the Founders of CDMVC, said: “Since the first Wheels of War Show in 2009, thanks to the volunteers and vehicle enthusiasts, the event has attracted more and more people each year.

“We are thrilled to continue our support to the Help 4 Heroes charity, and hold a great event in Crewe.”

Tickets for the daytime Wheels of War Show can be bought on the gate at the Crewe Heritage Centre at £3.50 for adults, children and concessions £2 and a family ticket is £10.

If you would like to head back to the 1940s and take part in the dance, tickets are still available at £12 per seat, including a meal, and can be purchased by contacting 01270 256880/480262, by visiting www.fb.com/wheelsofwar or the CDMVC website at www.cdmvc.co.uk.
