Depending on your festival calendar, it was the Boeotian Feast of Herakles last weekend. The Plataians got together to celebrate a birthday and we had games in honor of our patron hero. We also did a great deal of sword and spear drill, and practiced boar hunting. We had a few new recruits out, and eighteen people attended in kit.
