April 2015: SALUTE, LONDON EXCEL
Again we went with our car, via train from Calais to Folkestone and the last part driving left (it is time the British learn to drive on the proper side of the road!!) to London. And of course v.v. in the early evening bakc home.
Of course a lot to see, took more picture then we can show you here, bought some stuff so a normal Salute day for the Alde Garde.
As said, some pictures underneath.

2015 - APRIL-Eastern: KASTEELTUINEN ARCEN, NETHERLANDS - We took our early renaissance with us; Rules Pike & Shotte.
The Kasteeltuinen (Castle gardens) is a 17th century castle with gardens, open to visitors and they organise some events during the year; this one with a medieval theme was at Eastern. So not to be out of theme, the early renaissance demo fitted. 

Underneath photo's of the site and our demo. They put us in the new arsenal.
In March 2015 we were in Gentbrugge at the wargames show Warcon27 organised by the Thunderbolt and the Red Barons wargames clubs with our ealy Renaissance table. Sadly a lot of pictures are too blurred or too light; not only of our demo but also of other club presentations. Some pictures to give an impression.
