archer arowers. Three members of the Slovakian group are also members of this
club. They prepared us helping the leader of the club Mr Sándor Varga

habits, meal and life of ancient Hungarian tribes. Then there was a show, we

But not everybody fought in this old times. When Hungarian tribes settled
down, people did a lot more peaceful works. We also could try our handiness.
It was possible make shealts, bracelets and other jewellery of leather,
jewellery of the hair of horses, wooden carvings. If somebody had interest,
could fish in the brook. We tasted ancient meal, aldosh" which was cooked of
young goat meat and a lot of different vegetables, a delicious sweet,
gömböc", made of semolina, honey and dried fruit. We sang and
learnt to all participants an ancient shaman song.
