Leighton Buzzard 2009

Training Weekend Report

Our second training event at Leighton Buzzard went well despite the poor attendance. It was great to meet & include two of our new members, Jackie & Matt, who met us at Odyssey.
It was an opportunity for Jackie and Matt to exlpore the different roles and see what we get up to.

Jackie is leaning towards a achery role and proved to be a dab hand with a bow

 

 

 

 

Matt is perhaps leaning towards Thracian heavy infantry having had some difficult getting the whole Greek Hoplite role quite right.

and Ash's sail was painted on the reverse side

so all-in-all a good weekend.

Our wagon was completed and tested around the field
