Knights Of The Krag


Sword Skills


     Back in The Banqueting Hall today for 2 hours training.  Derek plus 4 other members took part.  Matthew got into costume and he and Judith practised with steel bladed swords instead of training swords.  Nice to hear the clink of steel echoing through The Castle

Training Day


     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
