Birdoswald Artillery event - brennivs - tony drake - 07-09-2019

We will be having a bit of a competition with artillery as a event alongside other groups, I believe the first time in Brittania. So looking forward to this Smile

Damn, wanted to go to this but clashes with a friend's wedding on the Isle of Arran.

What a shame but what a place to go to for a wedding, have a wonderful time as I will.

Sounds like you had a great time, at least you retained your sense of Humour Wink

Thanks Ivor Smile

it was all done with outstanding camaraderie on all teams helping each other out. But the Hasta we had to use not a javelin Angry

was the shape of a banana not the easiest thing to throw. So busy making a hasta to practice with as well as a Fvstibalvs for our displays.
