The Abbey Medieval Festival is on this coming Weekend Folks. I am not much into the Reinactment side of things but I love that so many other People are and the commitment they have to making their Costumes , Encampment's and dedication to passing on their knowledge of pre Renaissance life is admirable. I have often thought I should just jump in and join a Group as I love everything pre 1900 and there is so many shared Skill's.

I'll be sitting down at the Traditional Archery Companye Archery Stall whittling away on a Selfbow, sharing my knowledge and answering any and all questions the Public ask me as I have done for Years now. Every Year the same People I spoke to at previous Festivals come back to see me, some of them have become firm friends, others just like to come and listen to me while they sit and enjoy Lunch while their Kids go for a Shot on the Range for the umpteenth time that Day. I also bump into old friends i have not seen for Years. I am proud to say I have taught a great many of these People about making pre1900 Traditional Archery Gear and they are now loving their Archery


I am sure Colin [Hunterguy 1991] will be there sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for all things English Warbow up in his Reenactment Groups encampment. I rarely get the opportunity to walk around and look at all the Encampment's, Displays, the Archery Comp, Jousting, Stall's etc but I'll try to sneak in a bit of browsing as there is alway's something fresh and exiting going on

Hope to see you all there, it really is a great Day out. Actually there is too much to see and do in a Day so make a weekend of it. I'll try to get around and take some Photo's to share.
