helenb Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The BBC is looking for anyone who was involved with The Manor Militaires during the 1980's for the Domesday reloaded project. In 1986 people were asked to write about their local areas for a the BBC Domesday project and one of the entries is all about The Manor Militaires. BBC Sheffield is looking to talk to anyone who was involved in the group in the 80's. Email south.yorkshire@bbc.co.uk if you were involved.

0742Sheff Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Whoa... That's taken me straight back to being a young lad. Watching them pounding the streets in perfect sync. It was always glorious sunshine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenb Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Sarah The reason I'm looking for someone who was in the manor militaires is that in 1986 the BBC did a project called Domesday when they asked people to write about their local area and someone wrote about the Manor Militaries and about them marching in Sheffield and we want to speak to someone on Radio Sheffield about the group. The Domesday project is being revisited 25 years later and we are looking for people to update the entries with details of what life is like in 2011. We are looking for someone to talk to us on the mid morning programme about this. If you could email me at south.yorkshire@bbc.co.uk I can send you more details. Thanks Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
