| The two main ring attractions this year were the Gwynedd
Axe Men and The Anglesey Hussars. The Gwynedd Axe Men delighted the crowd with their display of mastery of the
weapon and gave talks on the art of axe wielding. After the various displays of wood chopping the members made
little chairs out of the off cuts, complete with backs for the children to take home.
Whilst the Anglesey Hussars Company, who delighted the crowds and transported them back in time, by setting up a Napoleonic war camp, with the actors, clad in authentic costumes and armed with memorabilia. The main ring spectators watched as the warriors prepared for battle with their swords and lances. |
