Hi Grant.

It appears that very few people in Oz recognised the significance of the day .... or they don't celebrate it.

Thanks for the reply and links, looked at them last night.
Spent time with like minded folks yesterday on a property about 20 klm out of kingaroy, shooting arrows etc.
Love my Medieval History,especially the Battles of Pointiers, Crecy, ( my favourite), and Agincourt. Cheers Roadie

Blanchetaque. English mounted archers charging the ford to cross the Seine shooting as they charged against the Genoese Cossbowmen. Who said you needed a short bow to shoot from a horse.
