(The society holds an extensive library and offers an information service). <p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Book Antiqua" color="#800000"> When time and money permits, an excursion to the battlefield is highly recommended. With all the information at hand we then produce a thesis or study and invite members to participate in a tabletop re-creation, from there, we attend shows around the south to demonstrate the toil of our labours. <p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Book Antiqua" color="#800000"> Although the P.N.S. is essentially a research group, we often travel to some of the more unusual corners of Belgium , France, Portugal and Spain traversing the fields of glory. We are constantly endeavouring to secure a window of education and understanding of the Napoleonic wars.
