We have now been told the times of this signing. It will be from 2.30 until 4.30 on Saturday July 5th at the Waterstones store.
Members of the cast of ‘Sharpe’ will once again be on hand to sign your books. Buy a book for yourself or a friend and have it signed.
The first day of this weekend is complete and it was a blast! Men from the 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles were in the grounds, giving firing demonstrations. Chris and Marilyn, from the SAS, were constantly in evidence, making sure everyone was doing their job properly! Gary Cartwright was selling his very fine original pictures and a small contingent from the Sharpe Chefs was on hand to help swell the coffers of the National Osteoporosis Society by selling more cookery books.
We were delighted to have the presence of ever-faithful Jason Salkey (Rifleman Harris), who signed almost anything that was put in front of him and was also selling his excellent Video Diaries and photos.
As a special bonus, we were treated to a visit by Daragh O’Malley (Sgt Harper), who was also only too happy to sign any number of books and photos for the public, as well as have photos taken with them. It was a very special day and Sunday looks to be just as special, with Lyndon Davies (Rifleman Perkins) due to be on hand as well as Jason, and the exciting prospect of other members of the Sharpe cast turning up.
Some ‘Sharpe Chefs’ have the protection of the Riflemen.

Our own representative will be there on both days to talk to you about the ‘Sharpe Chefs’ cookery book, still on sale at Waterstones branches and directly from the publisher, Pickard Communication.
A new book signing has been arranged at Waterstone’s, Cheltenham on July 5th - times to be arranged. Yet again, our trusted friends of the 95th Rifles will be standing guard and some of the Chosen Men will be available (complete list as soon as it is known) to sign copies of the ‘Sharpe Chefs’ cookery book. Buy a copy for yourself or a friend and help to boost the Chefs’ donation to the National Osteoporosis Society (UK).
A recent communication from our publisher, Pickard Communication, tells us that we have sold a total of 1700 ‘Sharpe Chefs’ cookery books! This translates into a substantial donation to the National Osteoporosis Society (UK), due to be handed over next month (details as soon as they are available).
Our grateful thanks to everyone who has bought the book or helped, in some way, to publicise it.

There were crowds of people at the Waterstone’s, Southend book signing. Our wonderful Chosen Men, Jason Salkey and Lyndon Davies, signed loads of books and were at ease and as friendly as ever. The boys from the 95th Rifles (Regiment of Foot) stood guard outside the store and shared their expertise inside with customers. The sales were very good and we have made another healthy donation to the National Osteoporosis Society (UK). Some of the Sharpe Chefs were able to be there today and it was a welcome reunion with the Chosen Men and the Riflemen. More when there are photos ready!
Thanks to everyone who made this another great event, especially the staff at Waterstone’s, who made the whole thing run very smoothly.
12.00 until 2.00. We are all looking forward to a very exciting morning! Can’t wait to see all our new friends from the 95th Rifles (Regiment of Foot) and Jason and Lyndon! Here’s to a good time!
It is now less than a week until the book signing at the Waterstones (Southend, High Street) store. The event takes place from 12.00 until 2.00.
Jason Salkey (Rifleman Harris) will be bringing copies of his own Diaries for sale and will give a discount to anyone buying a Sharpe Chefs cookery book on the day.
The 95th Rifles (Regiment of Foot) re-enactors will stand guard and the maker of a series of Sharpe figures will be around to sell his goods.
