The cost of this will be mionimal as we are subsidising it possibly between 3 and 4 euro each , plenty food to keep everyone going til the bar b q at 9 ish

look forward to meeting everyone at the weekend .

Good news ,
a certain ammount of weapons , K98 and Lee Enfield 303 s will be available to hire at the show . Laurence Thermies is the authorised dealer and will be able to provide ammo at around 12 euro a box

you must ring Laurence at these numbers to book a weapon on the day , 0719176624 or mobile 086 0760230 . the weapon is for hire at 30 euro for the saturday i am told ,

the plan is as follows :

Saturday : display to public all day , huge multi group axis display . reenactments every hour on the hour ,
WW1 gas attack , WW2, Irish War of independence , Roman marching group , Celtic battling , archery ,

Well Gents have a great Time as I will be track bashing on a Stug

Paul merton and his film crew will be filming in Duncannon fort for the weekend doing a show on hobbies and interest of the irish , I have had several meetings withthe producer s now and all is set for the weekend . Filming will be from Saturday morning and through til Sunday , he will also be interested in the battle at 6 pm but wants to meet all the different groups involved and talk to all , bith in the show and after hours in a social setting .
As you may know Paul Merton ahs done some great programmes and shows and i recently saw him do one in China , very relaxed gy and funny , i think this will be a great show when fininshed and do us all proud both at home and abroad.
This was in the planning for a while now and we kept it undr wraps as a surprise for all involved in the show , We aim to introuce him to each group in a timeline fashion starting back at the begining and working through each period of history , we will introduce him to the vehicle owners seperately as we go . So weather your a Celt , Roman , Viking , peasant , knight or WW1 or WW2 soldier everyone will get a little spot . The medieval village in the moat will be of significant interest to him and he will samle some of the foods and drinks on offer from differnet groups present .

So put on your best cloak , belt , helmet , shield or jackboots and lets do our best for the weekend
