Societies American Civil War Society (UK) This is the society that we belong to. The American Civil War Society (ACWS) was formed in 1975 and has been going from strength to strength ever since. Membership for 2003 was exactly 800 members. It has close connections with ACW re-enactors in the USA and across Europe. The Society provides an interesting hobby for its members, excellent entertainment for its audiences and a focal point for the weekend events and venues where it appears. They aim to give an exciting, colourful, noisy spectacle that is both enjoyable to watch as well as being very informative. Do your weekends lack glamour and excitement? If the answer is YES then this Society could be for you! Thousands have enjoyed our authentic and convincing re-enactments of American Civil War battles, but the real thrills are only for the PARTICIPANTS. If you are interested in giving up a few weekends of your choice for undiluted escapism then contact the Southern Skirmish Association (SOSKAN). Armies of the Potomac and Northern Virginia The Armies of the Potomac & Northern Virginia Historical Society or APNV was formed in June 1999 by eight people, many of whom have over 30 years of reenacting experience. In less than a year the APNV had grown to nearly 200 members with new members joining each week. The APNV consists of strong artillery, Union Army of both regular blue troops and the Berdan's Sharpshooters, two cavalry units with some of the best trained horsepeople in the country doing spectacular re-enactment displays and a Confederate Army and Medical Corp. The American Civil War Round Table (UK) Helpful for those that want to get an in depth view of the American Civil War. The Round Table is one of a large number throughout the world dedicated to the study of all aspects of the civil war. The Members come from all walks of life. Their interests cover all areas from military to political study, from social and economic evolution to transportation and foreign relations.

This version differs in that songs which have tunes have those tunes available as GIFs or PostScript scores. This version is currently using the Spring '02 version of the database. With about 9000 songs in the Digital Tradition Database, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Find out what the Prof, Cassandra and Lazarus get up to when they're left to their own devices. |
