Greetings
A fortnight after Hever, I was at a one-day show at Amersham.
I had a lift from my fellow Paladin, Sandy, So only took minimal kit with me.
We couldn't even fit the awning in her ( much smaller) car.
We helped set up a couple of soldiers tents when we arrived , which nearly turned into only one when we found one half of a ridge pole had been left behind and we only had one small bag of pegs.
However, we are resourceful. We managed to rig up two extra guy ropes and tensioned the ridge of the second tent and we pegged ever other loop and - voila, the second tent was up. I added my small array of weapons to the display.
There were only a few of us there, so we armed Deejay for Arming The Knight, with me commentating.
It was quite hot, so he then disarmed and I ran a display of training for two squires and then we finished with a fight between me and Deejay in jacks, gauntlets and helms.
It went quite well and, with only two tents, the pack down was quite quick.
As usual we had a good number of public and it was a nice, unstressful show.
here is another of Poppy's photos of the bishop from Hever.
Until next time
Adieu
