Do you live near Tewkesbury?

[Darren Bartrup]

Well, I made it back in one piece.
The weather was almost perfect - could've been a bit cooler for the battle.
There was only 1 casualty on the Sunday, with a soldier having to be carted off in an ambulance with spinal bruising. But all in all, great fun

Here's a link to some pictures of the event, I am in one of them lurking in the background (8th row down, 3rd across, 5th soldier from the right - wearing a red top, blue hose (trousers) and yellow jack (padded shirt) under the red top.

I can't work out which pic you mean... Anymore clues?

 

[Darren Bartrup]

Ok, here's the picture.

I'm the one with the red arrow over his head

What a mess, and I hope everyone survives OK. Middle of winter here, and the dam on my little hobby farm is only at about 10% capacity. No such thing as climate change, is there?

Yep, that's the place.

Looks like the event took place on the right weekend - it was underwater the weekend before, and now it's underwater again.

They've got no drinking water as the sewage treatment works was flooded & the whole west country seems a right mess.

Glad I live in one of the small parts of the country that hasn't been flooded (yet).

Yep, we're pretty lucky in this part of the UK (at least so far !). Over the past 2 months, there have been large areas under water, with the numbers of affected people running into the hundreds of thousands.

I must admit to hoping that the ones affected get past this Ok.
