Dover Western Heights
24th October 2010
It was my first day doing Napoleonic re-enacting and I was afraid I wouldn't fit
in. The night before the show I stayed up all night making my skirt for the next
day, every so often I would accidently think I was a pin cushion and accidently
stick the pin in my finger. I got to the show and there weren't many people
there at first, as the day past I made friends with lots of people. I had a lot
of fun doing the show it was really exciting and enjoyable, I am
definitely
coming back next time, I would definitely recommend joining the group. When you
join the group and get to know them they become like family, when I joined the
group they became family to me and if you look at us we are just one big happy
family. I really love the group they are friendly, kind and it is so hard not to
love them. I really enjoy re-enacting with these lovely people, it was the most
fantastic day of my life, I loved every moment of it. Everyone is friendly,
Elizabeth is a wonderful lady she is kind and trustworthy she does not give up
easily, she keeps on trying and if that way doesn't work she try's a different
way, she listens and is attentive to all, Tony is a funny, enjoyable guy that is
not afraid to make a joke or speak up. There are lots of kind, friendly and
lovely people in the unit, the group is small but it is marvellous and massive
in kindness, trustworthiness and gentleness, I am so glad I joined this
wonderful unit.
