FEBRUARY 27, 2010--SAINT
DAVID'S DAY DINNER
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 10th
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
May 15 – 16 RWFA
Garrison & Drill, Army Historic Education Center,
Carlisle, PA
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 look 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 2nd
New Jersey and 43rd 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.

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.
July 31 – Aug 1
Fort George, Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada
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!
If you don’t have a
passport, you can’t go!
Sept 25 – 26
“1777 Campaign,” Brandywine Creek State Park,
Wilmington, DE BB/CL National Event
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.
Dec 4-5 British
Nightwatch, St. Augustine, FL
