AGE
We ask for your birthdate because if you are under 18, there are some different rules for minors. You MUST have signed permission from your parent or guardian to participate. Those under 16 are allowed to participate in drill training only, but NOT combat or combat training. If you are under 16, you MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We have several "Categories of Membership":
do we?
To Get Started:
First: Talk to a officer or any member of the 64th RoF. They will help you get orientated to British Revolutionary War reenacting and guide you through the process of becoming a member.
Second: Print off a copy of the 64th Handbook which is located in our files section.
Third: Start planning your equipment acquisition and determine which items you will buy and which you will make yourself. You should always ask your sponsor or a senior unit member before you buy anything! Not only will this keep you from wasting your money on bad stuff, they may be able to get you a better price, or suggest the best supplier. There is no rush to purchase anything. The Company has equipment you can borrow until you complete your impression. If you have the gift of being a good craftsman, you can make nearly everything scratch!
Fourth: Beg, borrow or check out some books — Amazon is your friend and we have linked to them for you.
