Found your site whilst looking for info on this year's Battle of Nantwich. A number of other events prevented me from popping along but from whatyou say and the reports in the local press, it sounds like a good time was had by all. Was there a big turn out? I should imagine a lot of the Sealed Knot regulars were actually quite pleased not to be freezing their pikestaffs on Mill Island in the middle of January... Hello!

Tim- I tried to tart the pics up a bit with the Picture Manager but didn't get as good a result as I'd hoped. I need to install the software that came wtih teh camera, i had a lot of success with that. And (whispers) I do know who David Bailey is... I'm just "well preserved" Jax - Stick weaving looked really good, I thought it could be reletively small child friendly.

OK, you're no David Bailey (but you are too young to remember him anyway), you could do with postfixing them a little though. Does your install of MS Office include a thing called Office Picture Manager (probably in a sub folder called tools)? It is usually chucked in as a freebie. If so, it is very good at quickly correcting photos. Otherwise <a href="http://www.getpaint.net/" rel="nofollow">Paint.Net</a> is a neat FREE download for graphics tinkering.

We saw circular weaving at Conisbrough I think with some reenactors there, so guess either we've seen the same bunch, or it's a common misunderstanding as to origin. seen the first two, but stick weaving is a new one.
