Having made contact with Regia Anglorum , the organisation in charge of the Jorvik festival, via the national I had been efficiently handed on to the local group (Holderness) contact, Alan. I went along to a handy Holderness event to meet the group in the flesh and arranged to attend an event run by another local group, Comitatus.
It was useful to watch an event knowing I'd soon be taking part, which helped me to know what I was doing later. The performance aspect of the display was very important - we felt entertained as well as edified. We had a lark and Helen's mate Kerry made a great little video of the competitive combat.
