Our History

Formed in 1904 by the mounted section (trombone) of the east Lancashire police Constalbury and the South Yorkshire association of basket weavers and cotton flodders. The aim was to promote mounted trombone playing and 5 a side basket weaving throughout the Empire. At the time of the outbreak of world war one there was somewhere in the region of 50,000 members, most enlisted to serve king and country, The King Edward of Accrington Stanley’s own were employed as a formed unit, Supporting the Woman’s Axillary’s Balloon corps with basket repair and the regimental band of The 1st Wigan loyal carabineers and gays (King olaf the 3rd own) with massed trombone support. In 1915 near the battle of Loos the regiment won its only war honour, The LDV van trophy (second class).

Post war

With the decline of Basket weaving and trombone playing the The Champions league of frontiersmen (King Edward of Accrington Stanley’s own) Started dressing up a bit more. In order to recruit new members for across the community (Except working class oiks) New awards and medals were introduced. These include the Night And Champion to King Edwards Ring (Nacker) Templar Of Sacred Scribes to Edwards Ring (Tosser) More and varied ways were introduced to waste other peoples time. Including trombone training days. And international basket weaving. The latter was disbanded in 1965 after the great trombone strike, This was replace with Walting. In 2012 we're hopeing to bring this event to the London Spazzer games 

What we do now

We are building for our future, with our ongoing commitment to assist the local community and in time of emergency the national government. Our aim is to create a new rapid reaction force which will not be deployed to major humanitarian crisis.  Lets face it, No one in their right minds would want to dress up as if its 1904, Spy on the Germans and have tea with the king of the Belgiums. Our new headquarters will be hidden in a inside David Camerons underpants, Behind the right bollock. In the future we hope to have our own space station, underground mole, submarine and some members. Even as we speak the LOF is recuiting. Who these people are is beyond me, but they'll come....
