On the 28th of October this year, we participated in the Helidon Celtic Festival again.

Also, on the 12th of August this year, we were at the Toowoomba Language and Cultural Festival again.

Our next event for the year is the Helidon Celt...

On the 21st of July, we had our Mid-Winter Feast. We are pleased to announce that we now have an alliance with the Mercenaries of the Silver Crescent, which is a brilliant thing, and we look forward to working with them in the near future.

Also, two of our peasants went up to Freeman at this feast, in recognition of the time they have been with us.

Three cheers for Arnora and Edward!

Hip Hip, Huzzah!

Welcome to the New Year everybody!

First, a couple of things to kick everything off. Glencoe Medieval Re-Enactment Group is now proudly associated with the Combined Gaelic Clans of Australasia. This is big news because it gives us even more scope and opportunites for more up-and-coming events.

The New Year is looking to be better than the previous, and let's hope it continues. We have a busy first few months with the coming feast and the Toowoomba Royal Show, which brings good cheer all around...
