For musketeers we need 2 licences; 1 Shotgun licence (£50) valid for 5yrs and 1 gunpowder licence (£0) valid for 1 year.

nope, just blunted

Also, being a nanny state like the UK is, I wonder if the Vikings, Romans, and other groups that use swords, pikes, spears, etc. have to have fake plastic tips on the pointy parts?

Being the UK and all, I wonder if all the firearms shown here have to be non functional. As a WWII reenactor here in the states I'm horrified to think what must be done to these firearms to make them "safe". I wonder how many expensive historic firearms have been ruined by the requirements to own them in the UK.(?)

Can't remember the vikings singing that, bad show! i remember singing the dad's army song!

But not all of the Vikings that were there... most were a great bunch .... it was only a few ....probably had a bit too much Ale..

[beerzippy]

I thought it was great when the medievel minstrels played Glen Miller as us WW2 American reenactors went by....

Just a shame some Vikings had to spoil it by insulting the German reenactors with Nazi salutes and seig hiel... but you will always get some Dick heads at every event.????
