Ilisa, I swear to god I just had a dream about you. I was walking with my dad and friend at some Renaissance fair, and I kept talking about how I needed to find someone. And I couldn't remember your name but for some reason your avatar stuck in my mind, and I described it to my dad and we looked for someone wearing the armor in your avatar to try to find you. Then I must have woken up or something because I can't recall shit else. I don't even know man...

That's new.

Indeed, although we now Northumbrian Kingdom by now..and under partial Viking takeover (9th and 10th centuries), trying to find sources atm on gears etc, and also trying to hunt down a period correct style cross etc, wanted to go celtic style , but ye, any suggestions, sources etc, would help haha :)

I don't really have any sources that will be of aid, but look for ones based on Angles rather than Saxons. Angles settled the North of England and East-Anglia, Saxons mostly settled in the south.

There is one... they were at colchester this weekend.
Looking on the Colchester Military Tournament the group's name is "Croix de Guerre" although I can't find anything else online about them... they were def there though cos look!

I'll ask my friend who's more in the know about WW1 than me and see if he can get contact details

Got Kelmarsh instructions last night. Not overly annoying aside from a few.

No-one can be in normal clothes in the living histories area, and reenactors aren't permitted to be in the tradesman's areas in kit.

Meaning that if I want to go and see whats for sale, and I'm planning on buying some wool whilst I'm there, I have to walk 20 minutes to the plastic camp, change into my civvies, walk back, buy what I need, head back to the plastic camp, change again, and then finally return to my group's camp.

A guy applied for the 15e the other day who is a reenacter. I asked him his impression and as it turns out he is a guy in my club on the CS side and we have seen each other before. We will be having the third 15e meetup next weekend. Small world.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Yeah, I've ran into reenactors in all kinds of crazy places.
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...

Presentation's important when naked, though and English Heritage is probably anti-manscaping.

Go reenact Ancient Egypt, women back then often walked around bare-breasted or even nakend when tending the fields.

Or Ancient Greece, see-through clothing everywhere.
