Title: Hello all
Post by: Jon Blair on 2015-11-10, 14:15:55
Hi, I'm Jonathan. I've been lurking around here for the past week or so and finally decided to join up. I'm a member at myArmoury.com (where I found out about this site), and I've had some experience with living history as a one time member of LaBelle Compagnie from a few years ago. Lately though, I've been feeling the itch to get my feet wet again, especially now that my son is old enough to participate. Of course, I have hardly any kit any more, so it will be an upward battle, but "Victory needs no explanation; Defeat allows none."

Welcome Jon!  I'm envious of your previous involvement with LaBelle (not very knightly, I know  ;) ).  I purchased 1381: The Peel Affinity years ago and I still find myself thumbing through it on a weekly basis.

I am in that book on page 157. Unfortunately, the kit was not mine. I hadn't joined LaBelle when most of the photography was done, but they had a few shots that they needed to get, and they thought a fresh face might be useful.

Edit to add: I attached a photo that was not used in the book.

Page 157 ... so you're "An English Knight circa 1337", well met!  :)

Welcome to the site; I had the pleasure of meeting some of LBC at MTT some years back.  A very impressive encampment they had.

Yes, they are a good bunch of people. I have been thinking about getting back with LaBelle, now that my son is old enough to enjoy participating; he'll be eight in December.

That's a great age!  My son was 8 when he attended his first week long SCA event.  They're old enough to be curious about armour and history, yet not too old to hang out with the old man.   ;)

Welcome!  I'm a current member of LBC, so I guess we missed each other!  I've only been with them for the last couple of years.  It was partially 1381 that inspired me to get serious about living history in the first place.

Yes, I've been out for about six years or so. I've been in contact with Liz trying to find out when and where is the next meeting.
