Another Battle to fight this weekend

Yup

We're of again with the Sealed Knot this weekend, well we go tomorrow morning and get back early evening Sunday.

If any of you are interested in seeing a Battle, only a small one as there will only be a coupla hundred on the battlefield then get yourselves over to Newark at the Queens Sconce. There's some directions/map here http://www.sconceanddevonpark.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=34

OK I will try and expand LOL

We're members of the Sealed Knot, which is a charity, and a group of thousands of people who enjoy re-enacting the English Civil War. Generally, like this weekend there's usually a couple of hundred on the battlefield, but sometimes, like at York last year (watch Paddy & Rory do Great Britain in the next series) there were over a thousand on the battlefield.

All the kit is made authentically, or as near as possible, and yes, that means fighting for 90 minutes in wool jackets and breeches!!! Our local Company is found here www.SheffieldRoyalists.webs.com and the main website for the Sealed Knot is http://www.thesealedknot.org.uk/ for more information.

Basically it's a fun weekend whether you do or don't partake in the battle.

Hope that's made it a little clearer
