Sewing Class
Our final sewing class sees Judith showing off her own, hand-made, dress and tabard. Well done, it looks great. Some other pieces are close to being finished and will appear here as updates. In the meantime, we'd like to that Nuala Maguire for passing on some of her knowledge and to Dobbin's Inn for giving us the use of The Thomas Seeds RoomSunday 10 April 2016

Back on the top floor of The Keep in Carrickfergus Castle today. Nice to see members beginning to train in costume. Training is coming together nicely and we'll be ready for our up and coming events.

Sewing classes continue in Dobbin's Inn. Nuala Magure helps with Derek's cloak. Surprising how easy she makes it all. Be nice to see some garments being completed over the next few weeks.
Once again, we'd like to thank Dobbin's Inn for the use of The Thomas Seeds room

In The Banqueting Hall with 3 group members being put through their paces by Derek and Nico. Training was moved up a notch with attack and defence moves being strung together. Training was cut to one hour today but was still as enjoyable

We had five members in The Castle today looking at tent-games and calligraphy. Judith and Derek went head to head with Nine Men's Morris and Hnefatafl and then had a go with some others. Nice to see castle visitors paying us a bit of attention

After a break for the holidays, we were back in The Castle Banqueting Hall for another training afternoon. We had seven members at today's session. Basic defence and attack moves were taught and time was spent on developing footwork. We're beginning to put together a decent fight team.
