Gloucester Goes Retro 2019!

GCN took part in the Gloucester Retro Weekend, held on Saturday 24th August 2019, for the 2nd Year running, raising money for both Combat Stress » as well as for GCN's War Out Reach in Schools (W.O.R.S.) project for 2019/2020.

The event was a huge success, due to all our amazing volunteers, who donated their time, money and creativity into ensuring the event was both fun and educational.
