AROW is the Abbey Reenactors-Only Weekend and usually occurs on the May Day long weekend. Aside from a chance to camp and socialise, it's invaluable as a practice set-up for the Abbey Festival (10,000 people a day!) and to test that all the new gear and ideas that emerged over the summer period actually work...
Sam got to test out her new tent:
Nat got to set up her new Scribe's display:
I got to test out the cardwoven fence and the new sign:
We set the new Kids' Tent up and it was very well received :-)
Our first-aiders had an inservice with the new kit.
We all had a play with the flint and steel, and the kids made tiny fires (in the fire tray...)
Rob set up his axe-throwing target and some lovely viking lasses joined our girls throwing for most of the afternoon :-)
We had some rather charming visitors when it came time to pack down and head home :-)
