During peak
periods, Medieval Education can also call on a number of occasional
presenters to fill-in. While these presenters don't work as
often as our regular staff, they have all received basic training,
and are experienced in leading groups.
Steve is a drama teacher who is
busy developing his own drama activity programs for schools and
weekend workshops. He is sometimes (but not nearly enough)
available as an emergency for us.
Fortunately Steve has an
extensive background in medieval studies and metal weapons groups
in England, including work as a fight choreographer for groups like
The Royal Shakespeare Company!
Students who get to work with
Steve are extremely complimentary.

Allan is a fourth year
university student majoring in history, with an interest in
re-enactment groups. Although he has a limited background in
teaching compared to the majority of our presenters: his technical
knowledge, and control in the classroom, makes him very acceptable
to schools when we need someone to step in to cover illness. He has
received very good feedback from several schools.

Laurie is another medieval
re-enactor, and sometimes can fiddle the hours of his own business
operations to fill in as an emergency for us.
He says he enjoys doing the
Tournament and Archery sessions as a break, but we would like to
acknowledge that he mainly does it to help us avoid disappointing
schools and students when others of our staff fall ill.
Laurie's feedback sheets all
comment on his engaging and enthusiastic interaction with the
students.
