Shows North is a dedicated band of volunteers who give up their weekends to tour Britain (and occasionally further afield) to run a stand at events, publicising the Society and its interests - meeting and recruiting members... we hope to use this blog to keep a diary of what we get up to - and to discuss some of the issues that come up..

About Us
- SoA Shows North
- Currently the Society of Ancients Shows North effort is organised by Phil Steele - a military historian, heritage volunteer and Society Life Vice President... Phil has been a wargamer since discovering Lawford and Young's 'Charge!' aged 10 in the late 60's ... by the early 70's he was playing ancient wargames with Airfix figures and WRG rules - joining the Society of Ancients in 1973. Phil has supported just about every form of historical wargame, and played just about every mainstream ancients rules set. He is a member of Wargames Developments and the Pike and Shot Society as well as SoA and is a trustee of several important battlefield charities.
