Long ago and far away…
A photo of a demonstration game at Claymore in Adam House , Edinburgh recently sent to me by a friend. I am in it and a familiar fellow blogger. The game was The battle of Winwick Pass 1648.
A Blast from the Past and no mistake. Tried using the Zoom on image to read the name badges but I would need better technology - I can see it was Claymore - but you had already revealed that much!
Good Lord! Looks like the two Phils got the memo about red shirts! I look just a little less grey in that picture than now. Making all those hedges still gives me nightmares. Thanks for posting this, Alan - happy memories! Best regards. Phil

I've got "famous blogger" but assume that I might not know the other two gentlemen.
