Battle Practise #8
A "Battle Practise" event is a relaxed weekend wherein players of CONTACT have a go at practising basic military tactics and techniques, which have been adapted to the peculiarities of airsoft weapons combat. Lots of running and crawling around in the dirt, shooting, hiding and much sweating! And all in the name of fun!
This is the 20th/21st century re-enactors and vehicle market, officially called "The War And Peace Show" but better known simply as "Beltring" after the nearby town in Kent. This is an absolutely huge military vehicle and equipment show. Here you will find virtually anything for the budding CONTACT player pursuing a military role.

Regimental Dinner, Marksmanship Trials
The timetable for the event will be as follows:
Saturday
Sunday:
* Part of this time can be allocated to an extension to the Saturday conference if desired.
The extra cost for the Regimental Dinner is £17.00. See HERE for the standard costs

Our main public show for the SHŌGUN team putting on one of the 90+ re-enactment display stands at this huge re-enactment market and show, an event similar to "Beltring", but including earlier periods with demonstrations and battles as well. From the Stone Age to the Gulf War, with infantry, tanks and aircraft! The show is open to the public from Saturday the 29th through to Monday 31st. More details can be found at the organisers web site on the lower of the two above links.
The Will Adams Festival
A major public show where the SHŌGUN team puts on a display at the annual festival celebrating the arrival of William Adams, the first Englishman to reach Japan in 1600, who became the prototype for James Clavell's fictional character John Blackthorne in his epic novel "SHŌGUN". The festival itself is being held between 11:00 and 17:00 at the Black Lion Leisure Center in Gillingham, Kent, and is being run by Medway Council, click the image above to go to their web page.
