Oh that looks good. Not far from Tim H & Gary!
I'm surprised we don't have more here around York given there's Towton, Stamford Bridge, Fulford, Marston Moor all near. I've toyed with the idea of a Towton display or participation here but I'm no expert on WotR.
If there was legs on the idea of a Loose Ass Towton weekend I'm sure I could sort it. Including battlefield trip and pub lunch (great pub in the village) Lion Rampant type arangement?

I wonder if the world is quite ready for a LAW-based Battlefield Tours programme.....?

Why do I get the feeling it would be arranged to visit Towton, in a snowstorm?

That looks great! We need more of this sort of integration into existing events/attractions. I wish it was closer to me

Donald and his friends "Dahnundah" participate in a model railway show every year. It would be interesting to see what we could contribute to a military historical event.

Phil and I did a similar thing for English Heritage at Boscobel House back in the day. I knew the site warden as I'd taught his children. He wanted an ECW activity weekend which included some reenactors being about too. We had the Education Room, complete with adult & child dressing up boxes. We had a great weekend showing the ECW Battle of Wigan Lane. Sadly he moved on and the new folk were not interested.
