Hi Guys,

I have just received the latest copy of the 'Parliament Scoute' (newsletter of the Roundhead Association) and as part of the Lord General's bit is this:-

I believe Sir Hugo Gell was 'well chuffed' with his commission to raise a regiment in the city of Derby, alas he has to pay the costs!

I understand that the commission was presented to him as part of the unveiling of the new interpretation board at the Hopton Heath memorial. I just wondered if he was actually considering raising a regiment within the Roundhead Association?
