Im reading a fantastic book at the moment and thought I would share it with you all.
It is Knight – The Medieval Warrior’s Unofficial Manual,  by Michael Prestwich.

It is written brilliantly and you really get a feel for the knight as a soldier. It takes you through their place in society, career options, living costs and equipment issues! The illustrations are lovely with great detail for knightly equipment and beautiful paintings and tapestries from the time. I would say a great book for about 12years old upwards.

I had the first session at Rosehill yesterday and it was a glorious day! We ended up outside enjoying the sunshine and practising our en-garde. I have a great group and Im sure we are going to see some fine fencing in the weeks to come.

Ive just been at a meeting to plan the promotion of National School Sport Week and it is very exciting! All over our county schools are going to be involved in trying new sports, having fun and getting fit. There are all sorts of projects throughout the area and clubs and coaches like myself getting involved – so expect to be wowed.

If you dont know what your school is doing yet please ask or if you want to be involved you can always check out the School Sport Week website and be inspired!

……….. And watch out for the fencing in the video – its really quick!
