Uppsala - Stuff we do!
We are now in the slower months of the fighting calendar due to the warmer weather. Most groups usually retreat to their respective locations for cold beverages until the temperature drops a bit further down the mercury level. Until then we will unlikely have much more on than our weekly training.
There are a number of annual events we attend year to year, primarily:
Uppsalan Fightday and Banquet!!!
Uppsala hosted a Fightday and Banquet in November at a great new spot in Ingleside (Sydney) with heaps of open areas for combat including dependable high grounds and a huge bridge. After the fighting everyone retreated to the hall for one of Uppsala's renowned banquets complete with several courses of food and drink and an entire honey roasted lamb.
We had a fantastic Fightday & Banquet which saw fighters and feasters from the AAF, Order of the Staple, Society of Merchants Artisans & Combatants, The Guild and a couple others come together for a great weekend. We will host another soon and look forward to seeing everyone there again!
Beorg-Wic which is a 3 day event over the October long weekend run by the Ancient Arts Fellowship (AAF) at The Danelaw's Property, Dunghaven. For info please see the AAF's website:
