At Bristol Faire one of the great pleasures for me to experience is the fight cast performances. This small band of performers playing out a grand and furious adventure every season. It's demanding and requires great skill and the cast always seems to be up to the challenge. This year I followed the cast to most of their street fights leading up to the grand finale as the evil Sheriff of Bristol tries to force Maid Marion into marriage and destroy Robin Hood.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

At morning gate Postumous Gouge is determined to get Marion to the altar	She has other ideas	He's not taking no for an answer	But she does get
in the final word	The Sheriff needs the services of a cleric	He's drafting Friar Tuck	Little John doesn't want him to go
Tuck isn't in a matrimonial mood either	Things get harried with Gouge, Dexter Knive and especially Reginald Bates	Dogpile on the friar	Despite John's efforts
they have a preacher for the wedding	An escape attempt near Lake Elisabeth	Samantha Jarvis wants to take him down	That may be hard
Very Hard	You must admire her verve	Tuck doesn't seem to	Ouch! there you go
