McNab in aid of Help for Heroes

ON Monday, 5 November 2012,
aka Bonfire Night, for a 2nd year running the former SAS
operative and soldier, now acclaimed novelist, Sergeant
Andy
McNab DCM
MM was in Formby's
Gild
Hall to sign copies and talk about of his latest book, Cross
Fire, which will not be officially in the shops until 13 January
2013. There was a good attendance of genuinely interested people
of all ages, and extra chairs had to be brought in to
accommodate the unexpected larger number of bookworms who came
to meet the author of Red Notice, Bravo Two Zero, Last Night
Another Soldier and The New Recruit, to name just a few. With
over 120 members of the public watching the event which was held
in aid of Help for
Heroes, this was a very entertaining night. Andy McNab
proved to be an unassuming, humorous speaker, who held his
audience captive for over an hour, talking about his time in the
Forces, before conducting a Question and Answer session. Over
the night he spoke about how he came to join the army when 16
years old, and added that he was an official spokes-person for
the MOD. It was very pleasing to see that also
attending were 20 members of the Formby Detachment of Merseyside
Army Cadet Force
(ACF), who, it appeared, were held spellbound by the stories
that Andy told. Just before the signing they got a one to one
with the ex-SAS Soldier, who explained to them why his identity
is kept a secret.
The evening concluded with Andy signing the books that had been
purchased by members of the audience, from Formby Books.
Tony Higginson, who owns
Formby Books, who
organised the event, said: - “I am so pleased that so many
people came out on Bonfire Night to show support for the charity
and also to see and hear this fantastic author. The event raised
£385 on the door for this for this special charity.”
