SOE is a thriving club based in the Solent area (Southampton/Portsmouth/Petersfield) and beyond that caters for the military collector, their family and friends.

Activities include organised trips to shows, military sites and museums, meals out, weekend camping, drive outs and a regular monthly meeting with guest speakers, performances and film shows.

The club organises and runs the prestigious OVERLORD military spectacular, a three day event that attracts over 100 military traders, 500 re-enactors portraying aspects of military life in the 20th century and representing many nations; 350+ vehicles and exhibitors who inform and entertain the public through static displays and exciting arena events. Surplus from the event is used to support local and national charities; past recipients have been organisations such as Rowans Hospice, Help for Heroes, Royal British Legion, Combat Stress and the Ghurka Welfare Trust.

The main supported charity for OVERLORD 2013 is the local military charity Hounds for Heroes  who do much as their title says – they train dogs to aid disabled service people
