Okay, (finally) had a meeting with the Cub leader organising this thing, gave me the basic outline of what they want done:
Craft bases and activities on Saturday, so for us this should include firelighting, cooking, felt-making and any other crafts you can think of and would care to do, the more activities the better. Does anyone have access to a coin press? that would be great to see...
Sunday if going to be more fun stuff, so a tournament, dressing kids up in armour, sticking people in a stocks, things like that.
they are basing their theme on the Irish myths and legends, so Saturday i'd like to see everyone in either early Irish or Viking kit, i think they'd be the most appropriate, Sunday is a free-for-all, wear what you want, in fact i think the more different medieval periods we can get the better, it will make the tournament much more interesting.
Pajo, if you or anyone else wants to bring bows then please do, there's plenty of room and we can set up targets and netting, we might even do some demonstrations of combat archery if ye're up for it.
Like i say there should be a tourny on Sunday, we're going to let the various groups pick champions and fight it out, but i'm sure we can have an area if people want to scrap a bit on Saturday as well, for safety Head and Hand protection are mandatory, and chest protection is recommended.
I've managed to get indoor accomodation at the site, as well as free food for the reenacters, so if you want a nice, fun, free weekend then let me know...
If you have any questions, suggestions or offers please contact me, i've never organised an event so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
