Display Team
Our Display Team will vary according to circumstances. Please note that not all of the people pictured here will be able to perform at every display, and other members not pictured here may perform at displays. The performers pictured here are usually able to attend most displays.
 | Sarah Murray A re-enactor since 1996, Sarah is one of the club's main display presenters. Sarah comes from a background in Education, School Age Care and historical research, all of which assist her in bring a high level of interest and interactivity to her presentations. Sarah's specialties are Viking age Russia, historical costume and archery. She is the club's Archery Marshall and one of the founding members of Harold's Right Eye; the AAF archery corps. An avid horsebowman, Sarah regularly represents the club at inter-group and interstate events. |
 | Michael Brown Michael is a founding member of the AAF, and the driving force behind the fellowship's fighers. Currently Chief Marshall and Treasurer, he is one of the best sword trainers in the area. He focuses primarily on the Saxon culture, and it skilled with a wide variety of weapons, including sword, axe, spear and glaive. He brings this skill with weapons to our displays. |
 | Andrew Gould Andrew has been a member of the Fellowship since its founding in 1986, and focuses primarily on display combat, with sword, axe and spear. He is also currently the club's Secretary. In his spare time, he maintains the very website you are now viewing. Andrew focuses mainly on the Vikings, the events surrounding the Battle of Hastings 1066, and the early Crusades. He is the primary presenter at displays when Sarah is not available. |
 | Victor Connor Another founding member, Victor is one of our most experienced fighers, with extensive experience and great facility with a variety of weapons. He fights with style and sprezzatura and is a delight to watch. Victor is also our chief armourer, and has constructed a number of the helmets used in our displays. |
 | Stephen Rule Stephen is a recent convert to the AAF cause, but has shown his mettle in many displays. Stephen also rides horses and is in training for jousting. He is primarily interested in the Norman culture, and is almost fanatic about the historical accuracy of his costume and fighting kit. |
 | Amanda Pickering Amanda joined the Fellowship in 2005, and has been one of our most valuable non-combat members. She has an extensive knowledge about both crafts and archaeology of the period, and frequently contributes to our educational displays. Amanda took many of the photos that appear on this website. |
 | Drew Ridley Drew is a superlative fighter, especially with that trademark of the Vikings, the two-handed axe. However, he is also very skilled with sword, sabre and glaive, and is a valuable asset in both regular training and in displays. He is primarily interested in the Viking civilisations, including the Rus. |
 | Sage Leslie-McCarthy A new recruit to the AAF, Sage is particularly interested in the pagan Anglo-Saxon period, and usually fights as a Huscarl (with her trusty sword 'Fenrir'). Though initially focussed on combat, the craft aspect of the club has proven insidious and she has now hand-sewn some Saxon male and female costumes, and is even learning tablet weaving! At the moment she is taking horse-riding lessons from Stephen, but has no intention of following him into the jousting lists! Rather her aspirations are to learn to throw a 'francisca' properly and to eventually get into combat archery. |
