Annual Christmas Bash
The groups annual Christmas get together in York, filled with catching up, nattering and the odd pint (or two)! Here are some photos Anna took throughout the evening, and more can be found here.
Pickering Oct 2011
Once again were were billeted at
the very pleasant Pickering Castle and warmly welcomed by our
English Heritage Hosts.This is an excellent event to end the season
with. We had a good turn out and the weather was very kind to us. We had
the usual table top and weapons displays. Corporal Dixon and Private
Pyper were kept busy answering the many questions about the various
weapons on show. Corporal Dixon also had a couple of drill sessions with
some of the younger visitors. The training display was run twice on
each day. The scenario was expanded this year to include a little bit of
house clearing. This extended the run time of the display and was a bit
more understandable for the crowd. Commentaries were given on Saturday
by Private Pyper and on Sunday by Corporal Dixon.
Thanks to the ladies who manned the display and help man the enemy position.
Here are some of the photos taken by Anna, with more here.
Rufford 2011
There was a really good turn out from the East Yorks for their fourth
year at Rufford. There appeared to be more displays than last year but
still the emphasis was on the British. As usual we were required to form
the Guard of Honour for Churchill and Montgomery, both of whom gave
excellent stirring speeches. Also in attendance was the local Mayor who
was there to officially open the event. This can only bode well for the
continuation of this excellent show.
Mr Cooper had put
together a training exercise that managed to cleverly incorporated all
the various participating groups, and gave the audience a clear picture
on how the different arms of the British Army worked together.
The ladies spent both days busily mending kit. I
have to say we are always most grateful to have instant kit repair on tap.
The ladies had also prepared for the event buy baking an excellent
selection of cakes. We would like to thank the Ladies for taking on the
job of manning the large display while the men were otherwise occupied.
All in all an excellent and enjoyable weekend.
