well we are starting recruitment early this year. so many of our boys are leaving for college . A little about our group we are based in Vernon , NJ ( near the NY state border). right now we are a ever small group since so many are leaving for school. we only do events that are in the Tri-State area. experience is best , but we will take beginners who are serious about learning the hobby. you do not have to be a resident of NJ to join , only willing to travel for events. for more info on the group email Livinghistoryalliance@yahoo.com .
