This small parade-based event took place on January 27th, 2018

So, Bob and I turned out to this one and I am glad to report a slightly improved turnout from members of Owens musket than last year. The block was further supplemented by elements of Vaughan’s and Rivers. This one really is for the diehards or foolhardy and to me the march and post skirmish social are perhaps the more attractive parts of the event. The Skirmish is just a way to pass the time and make the afternoon go faster.

Space is tight and to be honest a spare musket block of 12 can be one musket block too many for the army commander to know what to do with. The fruit bowl competition also detracting from the usual brigading of blocks.
