So hopefully if your looking at this page then you are interested in joining the Ballards family and you have got to this site be either seeing us somewhere around the country, know some of us already or however it doesn't matter.

At first look, the Sealed Knot seems like a boys club and possibly years ago it probably was, however as the Sealed Knot and Ballards have evolved, so has its membership.

Within Ballards we like to consider ourself a family, with our membership being about 60% male to 40% female along side all our kids.

Ballards we like to think that we fight hard, party hard and relax together and enjoy the friendships and commraderie that we make with each other throughout our time within the regiment and are always looking for new people and families to join the fun.

• Pikeman (or woman) - the more physical role within the regiment, its a great way of letting off that pent up aggression, with two forms of fighting, either point of pike which could be described as sword fighting with Pikes, or Push of Pikes which is like huge rugby scrums but with weapons

• Musketeer - Join the ranks of musket and enjoy the smell of gun powder and the hand to hand combat, learn to use and handle a mustket safetly and also the option of learning to fight with a sword

• Cannon Crew - Help crew our cannon Wytchfire and get the exhileration of the power and nosie the cannon has as you fire it
