Meet the Lincolnshire friends living the dream turning county into the Wild West

17/6/2022

0 Comments

 
A group of friends from Lincolnshire has been enjoying the wild west scene for decades, and regularly attend western roundups across the country. During these events everything from the clothes people wear to camps they sleep in, are era appropriate for the 1800s.
The friends recently attended an event in Skegness organised by Turkey Creek Renegades, a club within the British Western Association. A dozen traditional camps were set up at the event which ran from June 2 to June 5 at The Village Church Farm Museum, Skegness but the stars of the show were the two authentic wooden cabins brought by Keith Robinson, and Dave and Diane Smithson.
They swapped their traditional canvas tents for cabins so that despite getting older they can continue enjoying the hobby they love. Each cabin took weeks to make and are built on a caravan chassis so that they can easily be transported between events and stored away in colder months.

On behalf of all members of the Committee, we would like to say a HUGE welcome on board to Laycie Beck who has been co-opted to join the committee as our Publicity and Promotions officer.
Laycie has been a BWA member for a few years now and joins us in the Authentic camps with her partner Bear. I'm sure most of you know her already.
For those of you who do not know Laycie, she is a professional journalist who has been working behind the scenes over the past year promoting the association in newspapers as well as news media outlets on the internet.
She will undoubtedly be a great asset in promoting the Association and I hope you will join us in welcoming her to the committee.

You can read one of Laycie's published articles in the Spalding Today newspaper group.
