Er... just answered that in the previous post. But think you are maybe missing the point. This is a re-enactor run event for re-enactors. It's a bloody good weekend of fun, beer and displays, living history and... did I mention fun?

If the public turn up that's a bonus. The event is sponsored by a local millionaire who just wants everyone to enjoy themselves and maybe the local RBL branch can benefit along the way. This event is free admission. You don't get many of those type of events nowadays.

And we as organisers do it for fun too! There's always those who point the finger yet make no effort to help. If you can see a better way to publicise this event try making some constructive suggestions and we'll take them on board.

Soz matey. you didn't. Best try again next year :wink:

Prize winners were:

Best in Show: Mark Farnworth & WWII group
2nd Prize: Andy Marsh & FJR9
3rd Prize: Operation Jedburgh 1944-45 & French Resistance (both member groups of 20cR)

All in all I reckon its a pretty good win for Axis groups. -and remember the voting was only by re-enactors. :twisted:

I reckon (personally your display was pretty good - but there again I seem to remember telling you that at the time. :D
