Through the doors to the HALL

Post by eagle1 » Sat Aug 03, 2013 10:01 am

Hello fellow FC'ers. I recently experienced a great day at Mildenhall (on the other side of the fence :Wow: ) & I wanted to share some of the places we visited with you.
It was brilliant to see behind the scenes and how some of the operations work & it was great to meet some fellow FC'ers :
I know there are quite a few shots here (hope you don't get bored) but I know not everyone has had the opportunity to view inside the HALL.
Thanks to Charlie (C24) for arranging the day & thank you to all the staff involved & for giving up their time to show us around :thumb:
Further photos can be seen on my Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/martin_a/ enjoy :pop:

Hi Martin :P

Great pics, great memories, great company and a great day :thumb:
