Activities: Training in Arms, Workshops, and Craft Nights. One of the main attractions of the club for many new members is our medieval combat. We train our fighting members to fight safely using swords, axes, spears, and a variety of other medieval weapons.

But fighting is not all there is to the club. We hold regular craft workshops where we make (and repair) armour and weapons, try dark ages recipes, sew costume, and re-create real dark ages objects such as furniture, ornaments and household items.

If all this sounds like fun to you, then please contact us. If there's something else related to the dark ages you'd like to try, or something you already do, we'd love to hear from you. We're open to people of all ages and from all walks of life.

The Australian Battle Group, Inc.

A Radio Controlled Big-gun Model Warship Combat Club in Australia

Web Site: http://www.ausbg.org/

We built and sail 1/144 scale Radio-Controlled Model Warships from WWI and WWII which are armed with Co2 powered cannon and armoured in thin balsa. These vessels engage each other in combat on ponds across Australia, endeavoring to punch holes in each others hull with their cannon until one of the vessels sinks or flees. Yes, the cannon really do fire, the vessels really do take damage and sink, and yes, it is legal in all states and territories of Australia without a gun license.
