Marching On

Greetings Friends,

Its been a long and exhausting month which has brought both trials and tribulations and victories and joy.

The unit has been deployed to a number of events:

Chester’s Lord Mayors Parade.  Where we had the honour to march in the footsteps of the Mercia Regement who had just returned from duty in trouble spots abroad, each one a credit to our country.

Chadkirk Festival:  A fantastic event for all those in attendance, good weather the sense of Frater at a high and of course the Y Raqs dancers again stealing the limelight.

Birdoswald Fort: A long journey for the lads who made it but once again superb teamwork and flexability to produce a first class presentation despite the terrible weather.

Beeston Castle:  Although local still not easy and after such a frantic few weeks still heads held proud.

On the 31st of August we will be  at Ordsall Hall, a precursor to one of our most prestigious gigs of this year. For on the 2nd of September we travel to London, to the new Hadrian Exhibition to help host the special Sponsors evening.

After such a hectic schedule this one will test our metal, our commitment and profesionalism but I know that when we board the coach I will see the confidence, determination and pride that I have seen in the past carry all before it.

We Marched on Rome. Now we march on London.

 And after that Victory is won?

 WE MARCH ON. On my own I stand alone, But I am many.    For WE ARE LEGION

Beataius Minerva,

Gaius Longinus
