South Cheshire Militaire - 26th February

Not a military show but local and at least it was indoors in the warmth and dry. The response was very high and we learnt another few valuable lessons in crowd (Sprog) control. We were situated in a very prominent position right next to the Dalek's who instantly started attacking us uttering cries of "Exterminate" and "Unit members must be Exterminated" which was a good laugh not to mention the local rag turned up and took photos of us attacking the Dalek's which left us in hysterics.




It was also the first outing for our Falklands regiments; The Welsh Guards and 40 Commando. Over all a good result and a cracking day.

Me feeling the cold as a Welsh Guard. Boy was that a cold day, my feet took 2 hours to warm up.

Rufford Through The Ages - Rufford Abbey, Notts.

This was our first main show of the season and it turned out to be a very wet one.  Due to the weather conditions the public attendance was low but the interest was very high. The Medieval and Roman re-enactors looked on in jealousy as we were walking around in  good old British army ponchos and nice warm dry boots.
