Battle of Hastings today 14th October and first thing this morning when I checked, we now have 1066 members on the SMART facebook page. It does go up and down all the time but a nice coincidence.
Jim Breeds… Yay!!
Peter Fairless… Watch out for arrows, then!
Pete Fisher… Was in my last year of junior school in 1966, and some of the local schools got together and made a film reenacting the battle at the original location, in which I was an extra, and had to play a dead Saxon…would love to see it again!
Mick O’Dowd… What’s the secret of the rejuvenation and long life after death Pete?
Alan Esdaile… I would say its one in the eye for SMART but notice someone has just left the group and we are down to 1065!
Martin Richter… mislaid my first day cover, during a move
Jeff Belton… Who won ?
Lyn Humphrey… Who won? Hastings Utd.
Steve Amos… Is their name Harold?
Dave Nattress… 1066! Well the story I heard was that when the chief of the Norman long-bowmen decided to tell his men to fire their arrows up into the air, his second in command said, well that’s all very well boss, but don’t you know if they’re not careful they’ll have some poor sod’s eye out!
