Hi, I hope this is the right contact! Are the Wychwood Warriors still active and do you support local fetes?
The Shipton under Wychwood fete next August 29 is raising money for a new children's playground in the village and a dark ages re-enactment would be a marvellous attraction for the younger (and older ) members of the community!
We are based in the Wychwoods, hence the interest, and I'm sure we can come up with a historic local conflict worthy of recreation!
Please let me know if this is a possibilty and how we might organise something with you.
Mike Watson

so who's interested? I am.

Sounds a laugh!

they're offering us free beer and asking about other costs? Any suggestions?

transport and free beer works, though a donation to the society also works…

precisely:

Veronica,
Very many thanks for such a prompt response, this sound great. Just so we
don't get any false expectations, what's the financial implications for us
for you supporting us? We can obviously supply free beer but I suspect
there's more to it than that!

Very best regards

Mike Watson

Just to check, I think that's the Saturday of the August Bank Holiday weekend. While the event sounds brilliant, the timing may reduce the number of people who can turn up.

I'm still up for it. Can't think of anything I normally do on that bank holiday.

Transport per person will be about a tenner by train. Plus hopefully Logseims can run shields and weapons and stuff.

I've been wondering about trying to book DAS into York for the August bank holiday weekend (which is when it traditionally used to be) and was checking with the Sec. & other key members about feasibility. However if WW are doing a big thing on the Saturday, it might not work out (unless people were happy to come on up to York on Saturday evening). I don't want to arrange an almighty clash again!

I think these things are always fun and we should do more…but we do need a policy on costing. One risk of doing things too cheaply is irritating other societies by grossly undercutting them. Not very helpful comments i know…maybe discuss at next weeks committee meeting?

Hmm, at the OM they said that Bank Holidays are generally discouraged because people are often doing Other Stuff then.

If there's a DAS event, especially at Murton, afraid I'll be there not at Shipton…
