Rover Scouts during the War by Briam O’Neill – 14th September 2026
8pm, Heath End Village Hall

During World War II men of Rover Scout age were called up to serve in the armed forces. This is a little told story of their service to the country and scouting. Working in POW camps in Germany, on river Thames security duties and volunteering for SOE were just some of the duties they performed.


TADS recently published the illustrated foldout leaflet HISTORIC TADLEY,
which was made available at Tadley Library and other local outlets.
Here is a link to a four page pdf version in A4 format.

With the current interest in the proposed housing development in south Tadley,
here is a link to the recent TADS Paper on the Portway Roman road which runs close to the development.
