Campaigns

n a campagin weekend, our members leave the smog behind, disappear into the bush and try to get back to the middle ages for a weekend. Feasting and revellry is firmly on the agenda at these weekend events.
 

ne of the highlights of our calendar is the biannual meeting at Armidale. The
photo above is from the 1996 event where the participants beseiged or defended a wooden fort. Members from many different reenactment societies come to these events and a large component of this particular event is reenacting combat.

he photo below is of Samildánach members at our own campaign weekend held in Watagan Mountains. From left to right, Eli is dressed as a Swedish Viking with an Eastern European style helmet and heeled riding boots. Next is Justin depicting an Anglo-Saxon, complete with Coppergate helmet. He is fighting Gideon dressed as a Pict. Gideon is not wearing any shoes as seems to be the fashion for Picts at this time. Behind Justin is Lee of which you can only see the red Viking round shield and his leg. Lastly, Rod strides into battle representing a Vendel warrior of the 7th century.
