Hi All,
What a fantastic event,
In my opinion, some UK event organisers could take a leaf out of Alain Nice's book, in terms of how to put on a cracking event. The hospitality was excellent, the camaraderie and mutual respect between groups was (as usual at Marle) nice. Also the thing that was highly apparent at Marle was the lack of fuss and red tape and rules that seem to swamp the UK re enactment scene,In a typical French laid back manner, the event was easy going but nevertheless, efficient and well organised. So hats of to Alain and his dedicated team.
Also a 'big up' to the ESG for their after show antics in the marquee, it all added to the entertainment.
My only gripe, as a typical englishman, is my complaint about the weather! as a fair skinned Northerner, it was too HOT!!
Anyway must go and put on some more aftersun cream!
