Description
We are the UoW Living History Society, a re-enactment group that focuses on a variety of different peroids. If you like to be active and you are interested in historical combat, living and crafts or just want a friendly atmosphere, this society is the right one for you!
We have a training session every Saturday usually from 12.00 - 15.00, where we learn how to use medieval weapons and how to fight in a line battle. If archery is more your thing, there are also opportunities to use the bow and crossbow.
We can also provide you with the opportunity to pursue a craft, such as leatherworking, drapery, cooking and woodworking, to hand make your own kit, and to develop craft skills that can be used later in life.
We are also committed to regular socials, as a way to make friends outside of the training atmosphere.
If you are interested in joining our ranks, please do not hesitate to:

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
