Battle of Chesterfield Wargame for May 15th

Breaking News…

As part of our Anniversary Event on 15th May, Derby Wargames Associates will be staging a re-fight of the Battle of Chesterfield.

Using 28mm metal figurines, both mounted and foot, they will recreate the conflict on a specially designed medieval terrain.

During the day it will be possible for members of the public to chat to the gamers about how the battle is progressing and to participate in the game.

Here's a link to their FaceBook page.

 

   

Guild Contribution

We’re delighted to have received a financial contribution towards the cost of the event in May from one of our earliest Guilds.

In August last year the Friends of Eastwood Park signed up as the seventh of our Guilds - The Guild of Lord Eastwood Park. Check out their website http://www.friendsofeastwoodpark.org.uk/ and see what’s going on there.
