Devonshire Association Lecture, September 2012

The Group Historian and a member of our Queen's Rangers Living History Group were speakers at the Exeter annual social of the Devonshire Association. It was reported as 'very well received'.

Devonshire Association Lecture

In November SKG3 was asked to furnish a speaker for a local Devonshire Assocation branch. The 45 minute talk was on the subject of John Graves Simcoe, his life and achievements. A donation was kindly provided to our society. We are providing another speaker in 2012.

OCTOBER SOCIALS 2011

Members of SKG3 attended the Honiton Wargames Club on October 7, staging an impressive French Revolutionary game involving over four hundred miniatures. See our SKG3wargames blog for more information and photos.

Would like to thank Wayne and Jo Mitchell for the enjoyable social held at their home in East Devon on October 8. You can't beat a 'real fire', with good company.
