An unauthorised meeting was held at Broadway in Worcestershire in January 1648, by about 80 officers from four or five Parliamentary regiments. [1] [2] They met to discuss grievances, principally the issue of back pay. [3]

However no uprising took place, whether that was because the Derby House Committee took actions that pre-empted the insurrection or if there was no substance to the report is not known. [3]
