| Dear All, please come and enjoy evening on 12 March 2009 , at Polish Club in Ashfield , 73 Norton Street, at 19.00 , related to most extraordinary visit of Polish Noblemen " Rooster Brotherhood", to Sydney . Come and see the amazing history , colour , uniforms , costumes , extraordinary history of Poland and Europe. Once in life time experience.
The Brotherhood/Society was founded in 1257 as Kur's Fraternity and later was also know as the Krakow Shooting Society. It was comprised of craftsmen and merchants whose responsibility was to defend Krakow against the numerous and always threatening invaders. Almost every large Polish city of the times maintained such a defensive militia. They had favored permission from the royal court to wear the finery of the nobility and landed gentry (szlachta), which was not allowed for the other townspeople. They trained first with bow/arrow, then the crossbow, and finally with firearms.
I hope to see you there.
Kind greetings
