Well everyone worked there socks off at the event with none stop work every 45 minutes and even in between during the ghosttalks down in the cellar; which appears to pick up new ghosts with each visit from the group. In a centuries time I ihave no doubt that Lodge Park will be counted as one of the most haunted pieces of real estate in the world.
Not including the ghost talks most of us participated in three displays repeated twose throughout the day.
The Duel.
Two gentlemen duellists unable to resolve their differences meet in the gardens of the park to duel until satisfaction is acheived; it does not go well. Misfiring pistols are replaced by rapiers which see the disgruntled duellists injuring and killing everyone around them without so much of a drop of their own blood being split! The duel is cancelled in the end, in case anyone should get hurt, as the weapons are rather dangerous.
The Cheater
Enjoying a drink and cards on the lawn one 'cad' is found to be cheating. The ensuing disagreement see's all hands to the fight as old scores are settled and new ones are made.
The Footpad
While discussing the useless field strategies of the farmer teh Gentleman finds himself pickpocketed by an unlikely footpad. After sending in the boy to get the good back in goes the farmer and then finally the gentlemen. None are able to get anywhere and leave with bruises and broken bones ... until the boys mother turns up and teaches the fotpad a few lessons he won't quickly be forgetting!
Played for entertainment and fun at the site, the visitors, staff and society all had a great time in the splendid weather the weekend brought.
