For the first time, Company of the Staple also sent up a small contingent to Abbey Medieval Fair – Australia’s largest medieval fair held at the Abbey Museum in Caboolture, Queensland. Here we met some old friends such as the Enterprise of the Black Garter and Eslite d’ Corps and made some new friends, especially amongst the Knights Order Lion Rampant.
Sir Hugh fought in a grand tournament hosted by the Order Lion Rampant, with Elden as his attendant and his lady, Lady Louise.

For the fourth year, Company of the Staple set up a static display at Winterfest. For the first time, Winterfest was held at Parramatta Park, beside the Parramatta River, which lent a more picturesque and medieval feel to the event.
Another first was our display of a 14th Century Harness fight in the main combat arena. Sir Hugh and Sir Elden engaged in a practical demonstration of how the armour protected them from blows and how a Deed of Arms works, with both fighters setting out the rules by which they wished to abide.
