Hello folks,

Pete Knight founder of the Old Contemptibles Living History Group for my sins. Pretty much a stand alone entity now with most members now able to do their own thing as and when they want with no hierarchy to answer to which can only be a good thing, and fulfils the ideals with which the group was started. No one owns the group the group is bigger than any of us

Well done Rob for picking this up and starting a forum for the group to use.

Hopefully will get to a few events next year.

I start my MA in British First World War Studies in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to the work.

That's all for now folks

Pete

Cheers, although I have to admit I mainly had to start up the new forum after managing to permanently erase part of the old one! Definitely agree about no hierachy being a good thing with members doing as they want, which is what makes me happy with the group as with others it has put me off.

Good luck with the MA, pretty handy having to study a book which has a photo of you on the front cover!

You little tinker

The other forum had had it though I think... served it's purpose briefly though.

This one should fill the gap.

Watch your back in that course Pete...a lot of egos! It has put me right off it.

I bet Lynsey!

I am doing it for myself and not to prove anything to anyone so if there are egos I will deal with them no problem.

I am looking forward to meeting those types

Questions spring to mind. Have you ever seen a Lewis Gun ? fired a Vickers? Held an SMLE, erected a bell tent, been on a route march, slept in a trench or ever heard me snoring

I'm looking forward to it.

Pete,

Check your OC emails, a few things I need to discuss with you.
