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.
This is the occasional buletin for members and friends of SKG3. Our group was formed in the West Country in 1993 to promote interest in the late 18th century, and in particular the lives of two Devonshire heroes John Graves Simcoe and Sir Edward Pellew.

Ipswich Maritime Festival, August 2011
Several 18th century groups were brought together by SKG3 to provide a late Georgian display in support of the Ipswich Maritime Festival. Members from three societies staged a colourful portrayal in what was a long range event successfully accomplished. Special thanks to our drivers Wayne Mitchell and Chris Smith. Here is a photo of some of those that attended. View YOUTUBE for videos.
Dartmouth Castle, August 2011
Well done everyone for your efforts at Dartmouth Castle. Once more SKG3 has staged a two day event which received general applause from the public, and also the staff! The combination of redcoated Marines, Royal Navy in blue, and greencoated Rangers was very colourful.
