Membership

The Company welcomes new members from any background – anyone willing to share hard work as well as experience and knowledge.

How to become a Company member

Joining the Company is a step-by-step process. The prospective member will be invited to participate at several of our events. This gives them the opportunity to become acquainted with the ways of the Company before making a commitment. All that is needed is an “acceptable costume.”

After three or four events as a guest, the person can ask the officers to become a recruit. Being a recruit is a real commitment toward the company. The recruit has one year to complete a costume and kit according to company standards and following advice from the recruitment officer. Once this is done, and she or he has proved to be dedicated and hard working, the recruit is admitted to the Company as a full member. The members have final say in this, as it is important to keep up good relationships inside our group.

It is possible to join the Company without any practical living-history experience. However, it is more difficult as you are starting from zero. We usually have about ten recruits at any given point. Most of them have done historical reenactment before, but some are complete beginners.
