We are also exploring the idea of conducting some meetings in a secure on-line forum. I'm a member of an independent mess. Membership in another unit is no bar to service in the Columbia Rifles at any level. The only requirement is that you commit to one unit or another for each event that both the CR and your mainstream unit are attending. This is only fair to us and to your other unit.
Annual subscriptions are available for a fee sufficient to cover copying and postage.
There are no requirements as such. All that is asked is that folks show up when they say they are registered to do so. The reason we're all doing this is that we have a desire to reenact with greater commitment to authenticity and military procedure than many of the groups we have worked with before. Although mechanisms for enforcing the Standards are in place, it is expected that people who join the Rifles are dedicated enough to act properly without a cudgel hanging over their heads. Officers and first sergeants are picked by the Board of Directors from an 'officer and sergeants pool' consisting of the most qualified members of the unit.
