List in

12 entries for MEG so far. Any more for next weekend comp ?

Are the Runners and Riders published yet? 

I have entered with the army that beat C. Antonius Hybrida in 61 BCE.  (Read up on your history if you want to figure out which army I am using!)...

C. Antonius Hybrida was a cousin of Mark Antony, and a real incompetent Roman aristocratic general.  I am hoping my opponents can follow suit...   :)

Richard

But he was beaten twice, by two different opponents (3 times if you include the street brawls of the Cataline Conspiracy).  :P

Runners and Riders for Devizes coming soon. I have included generals names. No one represents the same historical character.

Here are the runners and riders.,

Thanks to Ade Nash for organising an excellent tournament.

Thanks again for your efforts Ade, and to all those that took part, an excellent period.
Looking forward to next year already.
Lance.

Thanks to everyone who attended "Carry on MeG" at Devizes. It was a very fun competition. Thanks Richard for stepping in on a couple of occasions as umpire and well done for winning. The Romans were humbly defeated with Laurence Donohoe coming second. Lance came third and was the winning Roman.  So it shows you don't need to be Julius Caesar.

Dan McLaughlin should have a special mention for among the least experienced players and making 5th.  Best prize, Will Denham lovely painted wooden spoon, was closely contested with Michael Bradford being pipped to the rostrum by Jim Mclaughlin
