Uppsala Medieval Society
Over 15 years of excellence in beating the snot out of each other with large bits of steel!!
Welcome to the Uppsala Medieval Society webpage!
Did you see us at a recent Show or Fayre? Do you have an interest in Medieval History, but would like a more hands on approach? Interested in combat perhaps? (of course you are!) The following pages contain information about who we are, what we do, and how we do it! So, have a look around, read what we have to offer on this web space, and we hope to hear from you soon. Enjoy!
Upcoming Events!
Uppsala will be helping out our good friends Danelaw at the Blacktown Medieval Fair. Blacktown Medieval Fayre is a fantastic event put on by Blacktown City Council in May every year. The Fayre is a free public event featuring historical fighting displays, jousting, medieval stalls and a stack of craft workshops and other bits and pieces for the whole family. Come say hello and meet the team!
Recent Event: IRONFEST 2012
Held in Lithgow on the 21st and 22nd April, IronFest is an arts festival, with a wide range of activities and shows on display. This year, Uppsala was part of the medieval village.
This was our first event for the year, and it was a great show to get our displays off and running too.
"Short, Fast and Loud" was the theme for this show, and with member's commitment and enthusiasm high, we delivered another solid performance.
The Uppsala encampment, while still a work in progress was well received, with punters appreciating the chance to try on the gear and get some Kodak’s.
Id like to take the chance to thank those that were involved, especially Cameron and SpearDave for heading up the organisation of the group, the combatants for their monster efforts in the arena, and all that attended and helped out.
A huge and special thanks go to Mrs. Spear and Richard, our official Upp-Media crew for capturing so many awesome pictures. You will all agree, that the quality of the images are OUTSTANDING!
Its one thing for us to put on a good fight, but we really appreciate having people their to capture it for us
Below are a few sample images from our show.
More images can be found at the UMS Google+ Gallery
For now its back to regular training, as we gear up for the upcoming events.
Stay tuned for information!
