This annual event in Essex got off to a windy start in April with icy blasts that last ruffled the coats on polar bears. Despite the chill a number of visitors enjoyed the medieval market, watched arena events including falconry and a joust and cheered on the members of the Napoleonic Association as they demonstrated drill and firing techniques before repelling the French. Members of The Guild who accompanied Sir Richard gave informal talks about medieval diet, textiles, class and status. The new gallery of photos show that at re enactment events dreams can come true for new members, and our thanks to the 95th Rifles ( http://www.95th-rifles.co.uk/index.htm ) for their sporting camera opportunity.
