As promised, here is the updated schedule for 2010 and beyond with notes on the events as I have them from the annual BB/CL meeting. Events in bold type are regimental events on which we place our highest priority.

March 13 – 14 Battle of Guilford Courthouse – Greensboro, NC

If any interest, please advise me so I can register us. Late war uniform only. Please only advise me if you are 100% certain to make this. In the past we have had complaints and ruffled feathers all around about events that we were not registered for. The officers went to a great deal of trouble to get us in, and then hardly anyone showed up.

April 17 – 19 Battle Road Lincoln, MA

Hosted by the 10^th Foot, Ken has graciously offered to host up to 4 members at his house, but I think Casa Siegel is now full to capacity. This is a “regional” one day event that we have had great fun at in the past and it’s a great event for Light Company and regional New England. Bring enough ammo for two battles. You will need only your cartridge box for the first one as they are supplying the ammo, but you will need your own for the second battle.

April 24 – 25 Siege of San Juan, PR

I will get more info on this shortly and send it along.

April 24 – 25 BAR School of the Soldier, Vails Gate, NY

May 8 – 9 Siege of Charleston, Fort Moultrie SC

In conjunction with the AHEC living history event in May, Army Heritage Days has been expanded to two days (15-16 May) which last year attracted 11,000 visitors, we will looking at this as a good, low-key recruiting event for both the Colonel's and Grenadier Companies.

May 23 – 24 British Brigade Academy, Fort Montgomery, NY

This will be a weekend of instruction from the British Brigade designed for officers and NCOs and I will be attending this year. If anyone else has an interest, please let me know. I strongly recommend it. You will need to either camp out or do the motel thing.

June 5 -6 Gelston Castle, Warren, NY

We will be making this a “regional” event this year in support of a recruiting effort for the Light Company.

June 12 – 13 Washington Crossing, PA

CANCELLED

June 19 – 20 Battle of Monmouth, Freehold, NJ

Sponsored by 2^nd New Jersey and 43^rd Regt. Of Foot, there will not be an actual representation of the historic battle but a representative clash of arms this year.

July 10 – 11 Wyoming Valley Massacre, Scranton, PA

A wilderness type site with 600 acres of field and forest with easy access from I80 and I87. July is hot but there is much shade here. For more info: www.battleofwyoming.org

July 10 – 11 Battle of Hubbardton, VT

July 17 -18 BAR event, Stony Point, NY

We will need to pre register for this, so if there is any interest please let me know in a timely manner. Remember Ft. George in Canada is two weekends after, we need full regimental support for that one.

This will be one of the main regimental events for 2010. There will be a combined barrage and night assault on the fort with ground charges and hand grenades!

Fort George is an 1812 site with an outlying lunette which is accessible through an underground tunnel. I believe this is sponsored by Parks Canada. You will need passports to gain access to Canada and re entry into US, so get on it now because that can be a fairly lengthy process. It won’t hurt to have one as you will certainly need it if we make any future excursions to the UK. Can’t go!

This will most probably be the second regimental event for 2010. It is getting the full support of the BB/CL and it is unfolding as a very large event with evening amenities being planned as well as full battles on both days.

Brigadier Vivian will be there to give encouragement to his lads in red.

Oct 2 Battle of Germantown, Germantown, PA

Fighting from within the Chew Mansion is always intense, this one day event features two battles at noon and 3:00pm.

Oct 16 – 17 Richardson’s Tavern, Millis, MA

This looks like a very nice, medium sized event run by the 10th Rgt and 2nd Mass. Ken, who is on the planning committee will be providing us with more details as they develop and has opened his house to up to 4 members as he is only a half hour away. Ken is

Oct 23 – 24 Mount Harmon Plantation, Earlville, MD

A lovely location just an hour south of Philadelphia on a peninsula surrounded by water, this site may be the site of larger events in the future.

Nov 6 – 7 Hope Lodge, Fort Washington, PA

Always a local favorite, the reenactment has been taken over by the Friends group which has stepped in to pick up the slack left by the collapse of the PHMC. Two battles one each day.
