Confirmed: YES |
| Location: |
The Wallace Collection, London |
| Description: |
Sophia in London has been
contacted by the wallace collection and asked if we can provide two
armoured knights for a corporate do they are holding on the 20th
January. We need two people in full 15c Plate for this.
They want 2 fully armoured knights to stand on the gate and be guards
Starting arround 18:00, the 1.5 to 2 hours on the gate, followed by and
hour or two walking round and talking/demonstrating to the guests, no
combat though..
This is a good chance for us to make a good impression with this
prestigious location, and will hopefully lead to more in the future.
Event report from Kev
Everything went OK, I think David Edge was
impressed.
Remarkably, we got there at 4:20, 1 hour and 5 mins after setting off
from Liam's work.
Even more remarkable, we got a parking place almost immediately (we had
to wait until 4:30 to buy 2 hours at the Meter, the max time allowed,
then the parking was free after 6:30) during this time I phoned the
congestion charge line and paid by card.
I hope it's always that easy
Inside was a bit fiddly - David had to escort us all the time until we
were on duty with our polearms (we found out at the last minute we
needed those - we used BFW and a loaner from David). The room where we
changed was a small armour workshop on the 3rd floor so difficult to
get there, but David helped a lot and supplied a trolley (there is a
small lift).
Sophia did turn up and she was a great help she stayed right to the
end, despite having a bad cold - even worse than mine!
We were "guarding" for about 1hr 45m which was a long time to stand in
armour - quite uncomfortable by the end. Then we had a drink and a sit
down before going to the galleries to talk to the Guests and wotnot. We
finished at about 9:15, I think - so we'd been in our kit for over 3
hours - We are both a little sore today.
We left at about 10:30 and got home about midnight.
David seems like a really good bloke, and hopefully he will be a great
ally to the society (he signed my book although he was a bit
embarrassed)
So, I hope this will be the start of a long, happy and dare I say
fruitful relationship between the society and the Wallace Collection. |

Similer to the Greenwich shows in
another prestigious site in London. The site is the location of the
Firepower (royal artillery museum) exibition (see web link below)
Running this as a small scale trail show with the site, need about
10-12 people in good kit, not necessarily all armour, just good
quality, so mixture ladies, archers, knights needed. More can attend
than the minimum although this might reduce expense payout.
Static encampment with tents etc. Combat Displays, arming the knight,
handguns, lots of talking to the public, I.e. the usual.
Indoor accomedation provided so no camping in the cold :) Should be
enough expenses to cover travel. Hopefully time enough in the evenings
to get into the big city for those that want. |

Camping, beer barn etc
We are not booked to do anything, just have an invite for any members
interested. You can just wander about, join in with whatever's going
on. Sometimes other groups do displays with just there group, which we
can't join in. Camping available from Saturday evening. The site is
worth a visit if you've not been before.
The park is on the B4267, between Penarth & Sully. Its marked
as an attraction on most road maps. The camp site entrance is just past
the main entrance, can be hard to spot, so you can go in the main
entrance and ask if necessary. |

Wessex Show
|
| Start:
22/05/2004 End: 23/05/2004
BPAS Show: YES
Confirmed: YES |
| Location: |
Woodlands,showground, Frome. On
the B3092 (5 mins north of the A303). |
| Description: |
This is what has previously been
known as the Wiltshire county show and is basically the same as in the
past. Lots of stalls and exhibits to look around. Main arena events
including the white helmets motorcycle display team, various aircraft
doing displays and stunts, classic vehicles (civilian and military).
We are doing a small LH encampment and stall with our own side arena.
Plan for 1 main display in the side arena, and 1 display in the main
arena each day. Then practice, drill etc in the side arena whenever
anyone wants, no fixed schedule. Will be using handguns, so volunteers
to use them needed.
We are running a shoot the knight stall so need volunteers to help run
that, hopefully if enough of us do it no one will be stuck on it for
too long.
Can't promise much in the way of expenses, we are getting a small fee
and what we raise on STK, but will have to wait until the day to see
how much is available to be spread around.
Camping available all weekend from Friday. There is beer tent and
entertainment (I.e. bands, commedians etc) in the evenings, plus the
usual campsite merriment :) This is normally a good fun, relaxed, low
key event to start the season. Suitable for all levels of kit as
there's no authenticity, or even period, requirements being put on us
by the organisers, but obviously hope everyone will do their best as
usual. Remember loan kit and costume is available if you let us know
you need it.
THE REALLY IMPORTANT BIT
It is absolutely, positively vital that I get Car registrations and
names of those travelling in each car in plenty of time as passes must
be issued and they are specific to the car and the people in it.
Without them you WILL NOT be able to gain access to
the site, without a lot of hassle for you, and more importantly me, on
the day!!! You may end up having to pay to get in, then we have to
claim it back.
Access is possible any time Friday. On Saturday and Sunday no cars will
be allowed to drive onto the site after 9:15 (the public are admitted
at 10:00) So aim to arrive before that (you also want to avoid the
public traffic if possible). If you have to arrive after, you will have
to park in the carpark, and carry your kit in, if this happens come and
find us and grap some help, we will have a cart available. Gates are
open up to 23:00 on Sat & Sun, but only until 21:00 on Friday.
I realise this may be a problum for some and am trying to make
arrangements, but try and be there before that if coming Friday, if you
can't then let me know.
Theres a dedicated parking area for participants which cars have to
moved to after unloading,if you've only got a small amount of kit then
best bet is to park there straight away and carry it in.

One for the diskworld fans out
there (and anyone else whos interested of course). Dave Barnes is
helping run the Ankh-Morpork & Wincanton twinning event that
takes place twice a year. Detailes below from Dave about the event, if
you are interested in helping out/voluntering for this event please
e-mail
him directly for details.
Event Details from Dave
One of the first changes I'm introducing is the Day Watch. I have a
watch house that I need to man. I need up to 10 willing people to
progress through the town, bars and other venues upholding the role of
the legal law from 10am Sat/Sun to 6pm.
Next year there will be a proper site with multi-period re-enactments
and more traders and the watch will evolve to become the "governing"
body. If you would like to volunteer for this more involved (no-kit)
role I would be very happy to hear from you!
But you get to be there first! If interested please e-mail me asap for
more info on .
I am also interested in more traders (particularly costume makers) for
this year and traders, re-enactors for next year.
There is camping available. |

Leominster Medieval fayre

05/06/2004 End: 06/06/2004
BPAS Show: NO
Confirmed: YES |
| Location: |
Lucktonians Rugby Club,
Kingsland., Shropshire |
| Description: |
Bit of a last minute one this.
This is the same event as last year, but the site is different. There
is plastic and authentic camping, a battle each day, an archery
competition.
The site is at the Lucktonians Rugby Club, Kingsland., Shropshire This
is on the A4110, directions from Leominster are to take the A44, west
then join the A4110 heading for kingsland and Mortimers Cross, then
just follow this into Kingsland, the club is the main road, you can't
miss it. It is South of Mortimers Cross.
This clashes with Templcombe, but as its quite a different part of the
country we thought people might like to have the choice of attending
whichever one they prefer or is more convienient/closer.
If you are interested and plan to attend let us know so I can tell them
what numbers to expect. |

Confirmed: YES |
| Location: |
Temple Combe |
| Description: |
Multi soc show that’s
been going for many years now but we've normally missed it due to
clashes, although a few members have been before.
Don't have exact directions, but have it on good authority that once
you get near Templecoombe village, it's very well signposted. in fact,
from a good 10 miles out. It's actually "part" of Abbas coombe.
Its an EMA show so there is a £1 charge per person/per day to
cover thier insurance. The society will pay this for those members
attending.
Camping is available, but Chris E has the following warning ........
"get there a week early, and book your square foot at least a month in
advance....... it's one of those "REAL friendly" campsites..... (i've
seen bigger back gardens.......) i've done the show for the last 3
years, and not camped yet..... my advice is, if you want to camp, take
the smallest tent you can get away with, and also ear-plugs-- to blank
out the snoring (or other sundry noises...) from the tent next
door........ having said all that, the gig's definately worth doing.
small battlefield, which makes for a very tight battle..... and that's
the fun of it..... " |

Confirmed: YES |
| Location: |
Old royal naval college, Greenwich. |
| Description: |
Full size show this year, same as
the 1st year we did it. With Tents and full stall outside. .
We need this to be good, so best kit please both civilian and military,
need to avoid the usual cheats such as wrapping boots in hessian. Stuff
hidden under armour, surcoats etc should be OK as long as what shows is
not obvious modern .
If your thinking of coming and not sure if your kits up to it get in
touch to discuss It as there is loan kit available.
Access From Friday. Accommodation in rooms with loos, shower kitchen
available same as last year, on the floor so will need camping mats
etc.
Public access is 11:00 to 16:30 both days, so try to be there before
that. Greenwich is outside the congestion charge zone, but if you drive
through central London you may be caught by it, it applies until 18:00
on the Friday, after that it doesn’t apply
We need ETA and car details for the gate from everyone!.
Contact there is Kirstan Warren (visitors services co-ordinator) any
problems ask for her.
I'll leave directions through London up to you, but depending on what
direction you come from either the A2 of J2 of the M25, or follow the
South Circular and then cut off down the A21 through Lewisham to
Greenwich are possible.
We have to use the the East gate for aaccess same as last year. The
Directions to the east gate are below. Theres a link to streetmap.co.uk
showing the east gate. Once at the gate (whichever one) the security
guards will let you in. Any probs call Craig or Dave W on their
mobiles, or ask for the organiser (see above). Parking is meant to be
by the East Gate, but you can drop off at the stable blocks.
East Gate: Once in Greenwich, head through
the centre, towards the Cutty Sark. You need to go along Romney
Road/Trafalger Road (the A206) and turn down Park Row which takes you
towards the river on the East side of the site. The gate should be on
your left. Theres a link to streetmap.co.uk below with the arrow where
the gate is. Go straight to the gates and hopefully the security guards
will let you in. Any probs call Craig or Dave W on their mobiles, or
ask for the organiser (see above). You can drop kit off at the stable
blocks where the accomedation is, but parking is by the east gate
rather than at the stable blocks. Theres a code for the lock on the
restroom and the gates where we are staying which I will email to those
attending. |
