With monthly meetings, the group will reenact Viking-Age military tactics, fashion, cuisine and medieval dance as authentically as possible.
By forging ties with other reenactment groups, they hope to eventually represent Inverell at festivals. At the end of the day, what matters most is the escape from everyday life.
Are you interested in joining the fun? Everyone is welcome, however due to the nature of some activities there are age restrictions and parental consent is necessary for those under 18 years. For more information, call Suzanne Baker on 0458 796 137.
