Golden Flight 2026
WHEN: Thursday 12th to Sunday 15th November, 2026
WHERE: Rimu Park Scout Camp, Christchurch
EVENT COST: Refer booking sheet
STEWARD: Master Richard d’Allier.
Come one, come all, to Golden Flight! The Hundred Years War boils on, and as the English army tears around France, every battle seems like it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire. Whilst they were on a roll for a time, the French have finally flipped the omelette and the pressure cooker of English politics have taken its toll, proving that for all concerned, life is pain.
This will be a “back to basics” event, with no catered meal plan as such. Instead we will be organising a series of classes and making equipment available to allow everyone to cook their own meals, whilst learning and socialising as they would have done in period. Cooking options will include over an open fire, or using BBQs/gas hobs, or using the on-site kitchen. If you’ve always thought it would be great to cook under the stars, here’s your chance!
Keep an eye out for missives closer to the event with menu suggestions, recipes and shopping lists.
