Great to see Field of Glory Reanaissance again this year at Godendag. It’s always great to see the armies from this period. Bob Medcraft is always so enthusiastic and well organised. The competition will be coming back to Cardiff next January with the much anticipated Thirty Years War theme. I’ve taken the liberty of sharing the plans for the year’s other meetings locally.
