Friends,
Bentonville is 3 weeks away, so its time to start gearing up for it. I have attached the "tentative" schedule for the 3rd
Regiment. Please read it over. I will not be bringing copies of it, but we will be going over it at our Regt. meetings.
I want to stress, NO DUG FIRE PITS, fires are to be above ground. I also want to stress that NO public drunkenness, or underage drinking will be tolerated. The NC state authorities will be enforcing this, I would strongly advise not to test them.
This does NOT mean you cannot have a good time, it means use your heads about it and you will be fine. I also want to stress that period dress is MANDATORY for ALL members of 3rd Regt. from start of event till finish save for a medical condition. If there is a medical condition the staff MUST be made aware of it.
Also, remember the camping area at Bentonville is very period-lot's of brush and trees and such. You will NOT be able to drive right up to your company "street"/camping area, so, leave the kitchen sink at home.
This starts of the 2010 season for us, and it looks like the season is going to be good. A lot of new events/living histories that are very promising, and on good sites. I as well as Col. Fallin and the rest of the staff eagerly look forward to this season. We don't take the faith you put in us lightly, and we will work hard to improve as a staff and serve the Regt. in the best possible manor. This Regt. is the best in re-enacting and we will all once again prove why.
In closing, since this event is so early in the year we will not have the Camp of Instruction, so, we will have a mini-camp of instruction on Saturday morning to get us up to fighting shape.
I look forward to seeing ya'll in the field soon. If you have any questions, drop myself or Col. Fallin a line. Have a safe trip to North Carolina folks.
Oh, one last thing, let's get that insurance information and money to our Insurance Rep. Georgia Meadows ASAP.
your obedient servant,
Capt. TJ Bartel
Adjutant 3rd Regt.
"Britton's Battalion"
