We are
a UK-based 1940s re-enactment group with a mixture of civilians and
military personnel.
Our members come from as far afield as Harrogate in Yorkshire, across to
Lincolnshire and Norwich in the east, North Wales and Northamptonshire
in the South Midlands.
We
consist of a number of like-minded individuals who have fun dressing up
in wartime period clothing at a variety of 1940s themed events mostly in
the North of England and Midlands areas.
We
like going to steam railways, museums and other places holding 1940s
wartime themed shows. Re-enactment means taking a pride in your
collection of clothing and uniforms, meeting people, sharing knowledge -
but most of all - it is about having fun.
Other
re-enactment group gets involved in battles at some events. Through our
connections with others, we occasionally take part in some too. However,
our club is mainly for those who like a more sedate time at events.
If you
have an interest in history - in particular the wartime years - why not
come along to some of the events we are attending to see us and our
collections?
We are
particularly interested in new members interested in helping out with
our existing displays, or those who have collections to show off to the
public.
Whether you are interested in re-enacting as a hobby, or you have seen
us at events and want to know more about us and our collections, please
browse through our site.
