Fortress Wales – Margam Park – 3rd/ 5th May

All of Meibion attended at some point during the weekend which was absolutely great.
I have no idea why but setting up the camp took ages – the ground in parts was exceptionally boggy – it had rained the previous day.
Carol, Sandra and Ron were our guests for the weekend it was nice to see them, also in our camp were Les and Marian and a very welcome addition they were too.
The weather on Sunday was good and as usual we had plenty of visitors – well done everyone the Camp looked great and as usual all Meibion had made the effort to be as authentic as possible – we still have a few things to do but we are nearly there.
It was multi period event and it was interesting to visit other camps depicting different eras - the STS were out and a World War II Jeep was captured – unfortunately we had to return it – good fun though.
Monday was overcast windy and colder than the day before – but again we had plenty of visitors – Including two reenactors Steve and Zoe who had a go with longbows while in uniform, great pictures you can find them in photobucket -it was great meeting you. It wouldn’t be Margam Park without rain and it didn’t let us down the wet stuff arrived.
All in all a very successful event – and the cherry on the icing came at the grand parade – it’s a good job that Josh and Luis attended because we won the award for The Best Living History Encampment – how good is that!!!!
