2012 Season YEARBOOK


NORTHERN FORTIES RE-ENACTMENT GROUP

2012 YEARBOOK Foreword by Wayne Stokes, Chairman 2012 is the sixth year of operations for Northern Forties, and once again we are proud present another selection of photos which show what Northern Forties members do best – have FUN. As for last year, we have had to publish two volumes for this season. 2012 will go down in history as the year of the BIG WASH-OUT. So many events this season were ruined by torrential rain and flooding. Festival of the Forties. Morley, Northampton & Lamport Railway, North Yorks MVT, Churnet Valley, Penmaenmawr, Pickering Showground and our very own Halfpenny Green were all affected in some way, either being curtailed mid-event or cancelled before they even started. Some of our members braved mud and mayhem to try to make it to some events, and some of us ended up getting our kit and equipment ruined whilst doing so. Through all of this, and another year of ever-increasing petrol prices, we still put on a good show to the extent that several event organisers are already inviting us back for 2013 and even making advance bookings for 2014. When we kick off the new season for 2013, we will be making some changes that will affect who can join our group. We have grown to over 130 members, but not all of these are display/vehicle owners or helpers. We can no longer support people who join us just to benefit from free entry passes to events so they can go off to do what they want. Event organisers want displays, and that is what we will be improving on for next season. I hope you enjoy this Yearbook, and that it brings back more recent memories of some of the fun we have had together during 2012.

Wayne Stokes Foreword by Mark Anthony Craig, Secretary Moreso than last year, this yearbook has been produced using photos taken by other members rather than myself. Once again, my thanks go to all of you who have contributed. I have tried to make sure that every member is represented. The problem remains that some members only come to a handful of events, and some of you – even when you are present – still seem to be particularly camera shy. I’m getting quite used to asking you all to pose and smile, only to have a handful of you hide behind others, slink off to the loo, or otherwise make yourselves scarce. To you, a message: I’ll get YOU next year. You have been warned!!!

Mark Anthony Craig
