ALL ARMS TRAINING WEEKEND
31st May- 1st June 2014
Ballarat Pollocrosse Grounds Vic
You can view photos of previous events at: www.dtroop15thhussars.com
Please pass this onto your groups, friends and potential recruits! Our apologies if you get this more than once, it is impossible to know who belongs to what web group! Interstaters and ALL periods welcome!
This will be a great weekend and the aim of it is for everyone to try everything. I know that you may be an ACW reenactor, Napoleonic reenactor or a Colonial reenactor but above all you are a REENACTOR. We all enjoy our great hobby because of the same reasons and have FUN, it does not matter what uniform you wear. We don’t expect you to join another period or even have the kit but just to have a go! This is a closed event, so no public and above all no authenticity police, kit is best effort! It’s about having a go; lots of loan kit will be available.
Imagine how great it will be to get 50-60 people on the field at the same time! So bring along all your spare kit and let’s see what we can really do when we all work together. So please: DO everything, bring an open mind, bring a sense of humor and bring all your spare kit!
There will be a small trader’s row so bring cash too!! We will also set up a Bring and Buy table if you want to bring kit to sell; just put a label on it with your name and price on and put the item on the Bring-and-Buy table.
Details:
PROBLEMS: Call Adrien Rousset on 0447476860

POWDER: There will be no time to roll cartridges so please bring LOTS! We will have TWO battles per day and lots of drill and fire manoeuvres so expect to fire 60-80 per day!! This is up to you to do; if you don’t bring it you can’t fire it! A Safety Brief will be given on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
EVENING EVENTS: OK prepare to have a party! Drinks will be available (for a donation) and several social activities will be available, Cards, Dice and Dancing! I will be teaching a “Period” Drinking Dice game for those brave enough!! Again HAVE A GO! If you play an instrument; bring it along!
FIRES: No fire pits! A barrel and firewood will be provided and lit for those who wish to stand outside, but the indoor area is heated.
HORSES: Horses from other groups are welcome by prior arrangement. Please contact Adrien on the details below. The site is a Pollocrosse Ground so plenty of Horse facilities and yards are available! Don’t forget to bring a modern Helmet for the initial drill session.
