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 to put on living history displays which enhance the
visitor experience of the events which we go to. 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. This allows us to get into most venues for free.
Due to changes in the policy of event organisers - in that they now
limit the number of free passes they will give to re-enactment groups -
we can no longer accept people into our group who only wish to join
us to be able to walk around without participating in any static display.
You must be prepared to either collect and display your own militaria/period
collection, or help our existing members with their own displays or
other duties such as covering displaying members for lunch, shopping or
toilet breaks, crowd control as and when asked to do so.
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
