2010 GinPit Annual Summer Fete
A full programme of the days events coming soon
Viking Scouting Party
We have to report that recent rumours from the North are most likely true. For months we have heard tales from our outlying lands and neighbouring provinces of Marauding Norsemen pushing further into our lands. Though our Northern brothers are prone to a telling a good tale (certainly after several tankards of ale…) It would seem that we must take their warning seriously this day and make ready for the impending skirmishes upon our lands.
The confirmation comes direct from some of our own honourable GinPit menfolk. As you know, the woodcutters were hard at work on Feb 22nd, coppicing and making ready the nearby woods for Spring. Our men were that day in the woods, thereabouts and soon after; inspecting both habitats, and flora & fauna alike. Whilst undertaking these tasks, they spotted and ambushed a Viking Scouting Party. Whilst some of the party got away, all were not so lucky!
Our men saw them off well, and also made discovery of the Scouting Party’s mission – from what we can ascertain it would seem the Vikings are planning to invade our territories in the Summertime, ready to take full advantage of our crops and all the bounty that autumn will bring. We must not let this happen, so begin your preparations and make ready for action. We believe the first skirmish has been planned for August 8th, and we expect to see you all out in force on that day. Assemble on the Village Green, by 12 noon and no later – less you want to miss the Viking skirmishes and the victory celebrations thereafter!
