<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The overall winner and runners up of the Battle of Stamford Bridge Heritage Society 950th Anniversary Coin competition were presented last Friday. The competition was run in conjunction with the Schools in Stamford Bridge who designed class entries to be judged with the overall winner design incorporated into a limited edition coin. Callum Midgley was the winner with six class runners up who all received a coin in a presentation box and certificates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The coin will remain in production for purchase by individuals at the price of £5 which comes numbered and in its own presentation case, a lasting and great way to remember our celebrations of the 1066-2016 anniversary year. Remember they are only available for a limited period, so order one today before production ceases.... BOSBHS members have already began to get their orders in. Contact myself and I will send your details on to Brian and Maxine who have been instrumental in doing this project.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As most people will know by now I have stepped down as the current Chairman of the society after serving since its inception, to pursue other projects, both professional and personal. I will however, still be a member and so will continue to play an active part in the events and projects I am interested in.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The new 7 person committee will meet next week to organise itself and arrange the specific areas they want to be involved in, since Toms passing the original Committee had shrank from five permanent members to two, not enough to really run the society as envisaged. I think the new members, who have all played a pivotal part in the society already, have the expertise and knowledge to see us through the next phase of the development of the society, and I wish them all the best and good luck in that.</span></span></div>

Anyone not present at the AGM can you please arrange to make your new annual subscription at the next meeting. (see below)</span></span></div>

We have agreed to go ahead and buy it and plans are already taking shape about how we can utilise this great piece of kit for use on the river for research and locating the Roman and Saxon crossing points on the Derwent river in Stamford Bridge. Perhaps we can have a naming competition for it!</span></div>

A first production coin was brought by Brian and Maxine, and it looks and feels superb. The overall winner and the class runners up will all receive a copy with a certificate, with the arrangements for a presentation to be made with the school directly. Society members and the general public will also have the opportunity to buy one as a keepsake and commemoration for our efforts in 2016. Cost is £5 per coin which comes in an attractive presentation case, we have already began to take orders, - so get yours in now, this will be a limited production run and when they've gone, they've gone!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next society meeting is the <b>AGM</b> on <b>March 8th, 2017</b>, (<b>NOT March 15th</b>, as provisionally mentioned at he last meeting), at the Sports Pavilion, Low Catton Road, Stamford Bridge.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It will be an important meeting to discuss and arrange the future of the society and how it can move forward for the next 5 years. Subs will also be due at the meeting, but, we need to decide whether we continue with the fee of £10 that was raised for the 2016 season, or whether we reduce back to £5 as originally planned. Please tell any members not present at the society meeting in February that they need to attend if possible, as members need to be present if they want a say in the future of the society and the decision making process.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>As we begin 2017 I have been giving some thoughts to the year ahead, even though we normally have the BOSBHS year commence in March with the AGM. After the tremendous 2016 anniversary year last year and the positive feedback we received I foresee 2017 as a year of consolidation and of laying new plans for the coming years.</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Now more than ever, the members of BOSBHS have to play their part, as I have decided to step down from the Chairman’s position and offer the future of the society into the hands the members. I will still be a member of the society and be active but will play no part in organising and arranging events or decisions of the committee, that is now for the society to do. My decision was actually made before 2016, but I felt it inappropriate to give it up considering the untimely passing of Tom and the plans for the anniversary year we had ahead. My reasons are personal, as there are projects and professional decisions I have deferred for the sake of the society, but, now require my attention and need to be implemented.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>I will fulfil the obligations to the already ongoing projects I have initiated or been involved in, ie, tapestry, window, archaeology, etc</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>For the Society to continue the following is necessary:</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>A new committee to made up of new members offering experience and fresh ideas to take the society into the next 5 years. The new committee places should be as follows:</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- Chairman</b></i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>I still believe BOSBHS should consider a bi-annual show event at Stamford Bridge. Maybe every other year a new show at Fulford could be organised, thereby still giving the Viking Societies and the public an event to attend, but allowing more time to be organised. This is only possible with closer ties to Chas Jones and Fulford, but by getting together with BOSBHS to help with the organising, it would allow the focus to be on Fulford and thus share the publicity. I see the two battles near to York as a singular event unique in 1066 and needs exploiting, it will also allow access to Fulford Historical Society and Parish Council to be more involved. Further talks with them are obviously needed, but the decision on the 2017 show needs to be made soon as time soon flies....</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>BOSBHS needs an integral, forward looking, 5 year plan, including archaeological, establishment of a new meeting place for the society, new projects for the village, signage, information boards, education and school visits, a living history sub-group, new heritage conservation and metal detecting liaison project and the most essential - funding. Heritage Lottery Funding application being the main aim for 2017, another reason I feel for this year to be one of consolidation and building on what has been learned. Stamford Bridge and its society members should take stewardship of the BOSBHS, it has made great strides in the last six years and will continue to do so under the direction of a new, strong and imaginative committee. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>I am giving the society this advanced information in the hope that by the March AGM anyone within (or without) the society with the inclination or desire to be a committee member can think it over. I won’t be putting myself up for consideration in the committee elections. The committee has over the last couple of years seen a reduction in its members and thus needs new blood and new people to make it a proper working group. I know in the past the committee has been quite loose and decisions were left to one or two on many occasions, but for the society to continue and abide by its own constitution it really does need full membership to take the decision making a step further, otherwise it becomes stale and a dictatorship, - which is not what our original community vision was for the society.</i></span><br />

Tom’s untimely passing early on cast a dark shadow not only over our society but others too, but as reality sunk in, the society rallied round and with support and advice from friends, family, and members we managed to overcome the all the problems we faced.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;" />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">It was a busy year for us, in between attending the shows and fayres, walks and talks, we organised a fantastic fundraiser ceildh, a popular village summer fete, and of course the 950th Anniversary Battle Weekend, which was a huge success. The BOSBHS Tapestry group re-organised and motivated themselves and have produced some wonderful embroidery, even Charles and Camilla were impressed by the standard of skill. Hopefully, 2017 should see an almost complete 12m tapestry by the end of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;" />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">We also spread ourselves far and wide, with invites from both Hastings and Waltham Abbey to attend their anniversary events. Yes, it’s been a sad, mad, happy and fulfilling 2016! Well done, and thank you to all those who supported and helped us achieve it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">So what’s in store for 2017? Well, there’s still lots to do….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;" />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">We need now to consolidate what we have achieved over the last 5 years. We have proved our capabilities when we put our minds to it, and our long term goal of a 1066 Museum/visitor/resource centre in Stamford Bridge is still our central aim, but we need to look in depth at funding options for all our future projects, as it all takes money as well as passion!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;" />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;">The 1066-2016 new stained glass window design for the church is still ongoing, having been initialised in 2016 as a permanent reminder of our efforts in the anniversary year. With new housing in Stamford Bridge coming on line in 2017 we also need to invest in new members for the society, both to keep the momentum going and have fresh ideas and skills from new faces. There’s new archeological projects in the pipeline too which will hopefully answer some of the questions about the battle and the village which we need to know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstyletallbody"; font-size: 17px;"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;" />

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have decided that this year we would have a festive social meal rather than a meeting at the Cricket club as per previous years, so Michelle has provisionally booked 25 people for Dec 14th at 7.30 at 3 Cups, Stamford Bridge.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will bring menus to the next meeting, as they need all courses booked by Dec 1st. So far about 23 members have agreed to come along, this leaves 2 spare places for anyone who would like to attend, but I am sure the 3 Cups will accommodate more if required.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will also need to tell Kirsty we wont be needing the room at the club for that evening. But that can be done at the next meeting on November 9th, when we have a society speaker, Jenny Ashby, talking about early Yorkshire, Deira.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can now look forward to next year and plan for the events coming up, and also concentrate on the projects we have put on hold because of the 2016 anniversary events. There is still a lot to look forward to in 2017 and now that we have earned some real prestige from our battle show we can hopefully make the future brighter for the society.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The monthly society newsletter is going to get a make over and be issued just before each monthly meeting, this will a more rounded feature and will include new articles and threads from other society members.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well one week after the mother of all events, (in Stamford Bridge anyway), I have finally found the time to write up a post on the fantastic and hugely successful Battle Weekend Show on 24/25th September 2016.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We can't go on without first thanking the weather, any outside event is so dependent on the weather, it can make or break it. We were lucky AGAIN! this is the 5th battle show and we had blue sky and sun most of the time, had it been the same weather as the monday after we would have had a different story, so once again THANK YOU mr weather...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The two day event has took over 10 months to plan, with the last three months taking most of the time and stress to actually work out all the finite details. I think what we achieved in such a busy and at times a difficult year has been amazing and the team, despite some differences in what we wanted to achieve has pulled it off. It has been a very, very steep learning curve..</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We decided to go with this venue and format about 6 months ago, we took a huge gamble financially and in aiming to put on an extra special event to commemorate the 950th anniversary year. We also had Tom in mind throughout the planning and then the actual weekend, and I can safely say he would have been very, very proud of what we did and how we did it.</span><br />

We all enjoyed the whole affair. The camp, the stands and the re enactment were all excellent. My particular favourite moment was the address by the Archbishop. His improvisation with the re enactors was delightful. I participated in the 900<sup>th</sup> anniversary at Hastings, the events 50 years on are much more colourful. I don't intend going to Hastings this year. Good luck for the future."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Well we did it.... 16mile sponsored walk hike from Riccall on the
River Ouse to Stamford Bridge on the River Derwent. Me and my bezzie
mates Gary and Paul, and Strida, my Cockapoo, set off at 9.15am
yesterday and passed through Skipworth Common, Thorganby, Whedrake,
Elvington, Kexby, Low Catton finishing at Stamford Bridge at 6pm. We
were doing it on behalf of the Battle of Stamford Bridge Society in the
hope of discovering the route the viking may have taken on the day of
the battle in SB in 1066.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> It wasn't a difficult walk but it was
taxing, I think my walking boots are finally done for, the sole is now
paper thin and i felt every last stone and piece of gravel underfoot, i
have a big red blister to prove it! I took video selfies as we went
along so watch if you want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> After doing that I have the utter,
and utmost respect for those men both from the English army AND the
viking army who managed to walk or run miles and miles only to have to
fight a battle at the end of it... i had a battle to even lift my feet
onto the couch when i got home! They must have been really hardened and
tough, tough people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Thanks to all those who have sponsored us
and it will go towards the society and the money needed to keep our
heritage alive.....</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">we were planning to hold a society day trip out on June 5th, but after the last meeting in May we decided that there is so much to do regards this years ongoing events that it seems more sensible to hold a meeting to catch up etc. So I have booked the cricket club for WEDNESDAY JUNE 15TH, 7.30pm. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There will be lots to do and talk about as per usual - so do try and come along, there will be specific news on the sept show and of course final preparations for the Gala Day on 19th June. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The rest of the dates are on the new leaflet so pick up a copy - i will bring some for June 15th, anyone who knows those not with email or web access please let them know the June meeting date. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">see you there!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thanks go to everyone who put the effort in, to the Tapestry group for their support and donations, to all the private and business donations for the auction (which went really well, well done Frederick on being the auctioneer). To Olga and AlterEgo, the ceildh band, to the caller for trying to organise the chaos into something that resembles a dance, to Michelle who slaved over a broken oven in the kitchen and organised the food and soft drinks which was appreciated by the hungry dancers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was a good turn out too from the village and friends and colleagues of Tom, thanks for all the support - I bet Tom was desperately looking down from Valhalla and wishing he was there and revelling in all the fun...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are some pictures to come which i will post when i get them form my phone.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thanks to all</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

It was an important meeting, not only as the annual AGM but also because of course Toms passing had left a lot of issues to be addressed and society in general need to focus on its core activities and the direction to be taken. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive before the meeting started, but as we ploughed through the agenda it became clear that the members who attended were positive, in good cheer and determined to carry on with the plans and projects that both tom was involved with and new ones we had planned.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The following is a brief overview of what was discussed and the new implementations agreed by all.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>CHAIRMAN’S REPORT</u></span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This has been a year of highs and extreme lows, one which we could never envisage.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">From the new show at Hazlewood Castle, the success of the Tapestry project to the untimely passing of Tom. The Chairman can’t thank people enough for their encouragement and support over the last year and especially the last few weeks.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Appreciation of course to the management committee, to Michelle, our Treasurer, to Alan who managed the Membership until he resigned for personal reasons, and of course to Tom who provided the donkeywork as Society Secretary.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few people have said to me, ‘’Well, Chris, - it’s all on your shoulders now’’; well let me you tell you that I don’t want it to be all on my shoulders; I want us all here and those members not present to pull together and share the load, we all have the passion and personal interests, otherwise we wouldn’t be members of this society. Let’s make this year, and every year after even more successful than the previous four years. I know we can achieve it and continue the legacy that Tom helped to create.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I certainly don’t have any concerns regarding the Tapestry project, I know the right team and right skills are there to continue the excellent work and complete this unique piece of art and history for the community, for Yorkshire and indeed for England. I look forward to the day it is unveiled for all the world to see.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It only remains for me to say that I will try and continue to make the society all that which both Tom and myself envisaged it to be. We should be very proud of what we have done in just four short years. Here’s to the next 20.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank You</span></b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- here's some pictures we have of the short wreath laying we held in Stamford Bridge at the Battle Memorial in the Main Street, last sunday 21st Feb.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of us said a few words and expressed our thoughts and thanks for Toms involvement in the few years the society has been going. Some of us then went to the pub to raise a final glass to absent friends...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Received some very sad news about Tom Wyles. Tom passed away on monday feb 8th after suffering a devastating heart attack. I first met Tom five years ago when I was researching my book on the battle of Stamford Bridge and we decided together to set up the Battle of Stamford Bridge Heritage Society, we both felt the same about the neglect and loss of such an important heritage site. We also had the same passion for history despite him being a monkey hanger.....</span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; display: block; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As there is nothing to<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> make the news any happier so all l want to say is that Tom was irreplaceable and the society and indeed the village has a hole that will never be filled.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the weekend of the 19th and 20th September we held our Battle Re-enactment show in Stamford Bridge.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Blissfully the weather came out to perfect timing for the outside event, with both days being warm, sunny and just delightful to be in. Unfortunately for the re-enactors it’s not the best weather for running around big a field dressed in heavy woollen clothes and wearing chainmail, helmets, fur cloaks and wielding a shield, axe, spear and sword. However, as seasoned performers they didn’t let that stop them from putting on an excellent performance for the crowds who came to visit.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Around 400 people attended over the two days and with lots of living history tents on the ‘main street’ and with the other society’s marquees (English Companions, East Riding Archaeological Society, Battlefields Trust and BOSBHS) they had plenty to do and see. Many dark age groups around the country sent members to participate in this show, both as Vikings and Saxons, and the main battle for control of the ‘bridge’ is the highlight of each day. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The atmosphere of the show is always easy going and relaxed, with a loose timetable including a Viking King’s Court, where justice is meted out Hardrada style, Saxon and Viking storytellers telling tales of god and heroes to enthralled children (and adults!). A BBQ and bar offers visitors the chance of food and drink, especially welcome on a warm late summers day! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year also saw the official launch of the Stamford Bridge Tapestry, A real Viking, Gunnar, and Fulford Societies’ Chas Jones, were both special guests. Together they launched the start of the actual work on the linen, and wished the project well and reiterated how important this was to the ‘full’ story of 1066. The society really hopes to have it completed for next year’s 950th anniversary, when together with the Fulford Tapestry and the copy of the Bayeux Tapestry in Reading, they can be displayed as one. Definately a world’s first! (if anyone has pictures that were taken at the Tapestry launch can you get in touch, I didn't get a chance to take any for our files...)</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Spear Pie competition on Sunday was judged by Gunnar from Iceland and our friendly local butcher, there were 5 entries and according to the judges they were all yummy and very well presented (see pix below). Th winner was Jenny, who made quite delicious Spear shape pies,well done and enjoy the Cup! Next year you will have to up the stakes....</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to all the society members who came along and supported the event, you will be rewarded in heaven, or maybe at the next christmas social! We could not do the show with you and your time and efforts. Also thanks to the other societies and groups who came and of course to the Viking and Saxon reenactors who make the shoe come 'alive' it was a brilliant weekend.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So the event is over for another year, but we don’t stop there, we are now to begin the organising of next years show which is set to rival the 1966 anniversary, and should prove to be the biggest and best best show since the real battle that took place here in Stamford Bridge on September 25th, 1066. Make a date in your diary...</span></div>
