Into history? Have a bit of time on your hands?

enfeild

My co-pilot is not always available to join me at Military/re-enactment shows around the country and there are a few coming up soon. The next one is in Enniscorthy on Easter Monday and then another on the May bank holiday in Cork. I am located in North Tipp.
Basically I need a guy (the wife would not understand if I brought a female). Age unimportant but must be over 20 and under 100. Your duties will be to help me rig up the truck, attend shows and help me de-rig when we return. Great crack is guaranteed at these events and there is never any trouble as most of the guys are ex-military. Splitting the petrol with me is a definite plus but not completely compulsory. I provide uniforms and also camping gear for weekends. Most of these shows would provide free food and free camping facilities.
As I say age is no barrier but you must be interested in history as you will be surrounded by it.
Anyone interested please email me at

Regards.
Tom.

We gathered at the Cathedral at 10,30 and those there were dressed in the uniforms of the Irish Nationals Volunteers, R.I.C. Flying squad,and Cumann na mBann. Ourselves were kitted out as flying squad with and the usuall weapons, bandoliers, trench coats etc. The parade left the Cathedral after 11 mass and up to the square where there was a ceremony with the army and digatories and a speech. There was photographs taken by the newspapers but not by us poor sods in the rain. It should be in the Enniscorthy Echo or whatever the Enniscorthy paper is. After the cerempny we were treated to tea and sandwiches in the restaurant across the road. and then we left for home. Next gig is the Battle of the Ages in the Agricultural grounds in Cork. We will be dressed as Dutch Army UN and the truck will be flying Dutch insignia and we will drive down on the Saturday morning, camp in the grounds with the Vikings, Velts Romans, WW1 and WW2 lads and head home on the sunday evening.
Regards.
Tom.

Hi All,
I visited Duncannon Fort with Brendan Kenny on Saturday 5th June and what a great time we had.The amount and range of Equipment, vehicles, uniforms and the depth of knowledge exhibited by those involved was truly awesome.
This was our 1st time attending and I have to say it was an absolutely brilliant day as evidenced by the large crowd in attendance.
A special word of thanks to Tom Burnell for his assistance to us on the day.
Well done one and all

PS: If you are on Facebook check out South Tipperary Military History Society, we have 105 photos of the above weekend on show there

Many thanks for your kind offer but the position was filled shortly after listing the request here. If you are interested in these re-enactment clubs just go to any of the shows and join whichever theme or historical period club you like. Its all very friendly but messing messing is tolerated.
Look on utube for the show in Duncannon and Leopardstown over the last two days, also google for pictures.
