Just a quick AAR on the Duncannon event - fantastic fun spoiled a bit by Belvoir Castle '06-like downpour. What a great venue for an event - a mid-18th century coastal fort, with our own quarters and with inexpensive food laid on close at hand. Extremely reenacter-friendly pub just down the road, with flexible, negotiable opening hours. The reenacters covered all periods of history, but special strength in WW2, Napoleonic and Roman. WW2 lads especially good, look forward to seeing some of you at Detling this year!
Low points - the weather, blowy one day, rainy the next, at least we didn't get both together, and the four Russian chavs who were hassling us on Sunday morning (later, I understand, arrested by the Guards.
High points - great people even in bad conditions, lots of public ditto, good food and drink, enthusiastic reenacters and a standing invitation to come next year. Lets see a few more 2nd Guards then!
As Dustin the Turkey says, The Craic was good!

Really excellent to see you Rob and glad you enjoyed the event except for the rain on the sunday. We did a lot of filming in the fort's bunker complex little video cameos for putting up on the web. Will post the links when these are ready.

Next big event is first weekend in August. We have John Oxlade hiring weapons and this will be the first ever Russian front battle ever staged in Ireland. Anyone free who fancies grabbing a cheap flight to Belfast, we would love to see you. :P

(sigh) :roll: The Garda, known locally as the Guards. Sorry. Besides, I was 49th Mech for the weekend, and therefore not a Guard at all.
So there.

The event was featured on national TV in Ireland on a program called Nationwide. Unfortunetly we don't feature except for a close up of my meshok during the battle. Some nice pictures of the fort.

Hi guys
A few photos of us at Duncannon hurling back the fascist hordes alongside the 101st Airborne and London Irish Rifles.
