It is always difficult to hear of these Originals passing on. These folks created what we have now out of very little, with no Internet and only libraries and...

The CCMA was not invited to the big three (BAR,British Brigade Continental Line) event in Southbury CT this coming weekend. Oops! let me re-phrase that. Some...
Well then Jim, I don't know who's going to be able to help you. The plain fact of the matter is that these are events PUT ON by the various umbrellas for OUR...
I am in the process of clearing some items from my kit and the following needs to go. All items are mint, etc. Shipping is included. Please contact me at...
Thanks Dave. I understand why we were not invited, I just think there's too much of "members only" that the hobby can ill afford, and I'm just trying to get...
Jim - Dave answered your inquiry with what I think is a good work-around if you want to attend these event. It is those may work around that allow people to...
Thanks again Sean. You're right, complaining from the outside and on these lists won't do any good, I have to go to the source of the beef. It's mostly a ...
Well Jim...... I've been doing this for 21 years and sorry to say, I don't know who you are and I've NEVER been invited to one of your events. The larger...
Bob, I am the Treasurer of the CCMA. We (the CCMA as an organization) only do events in CT. We have posted invites the at least the last two years on this list...
Ditto what Bob said. This is my 30th year in the hobby, and I am on the British Brigade board. Never heard of you or your events. Time for you to catch up with...
Gary, The reason you never heard of us is you don't go into CT much. Ask the 5th CT who we are at Southbury. Ask the 2nd Ct Dragoons (Sheldon's Horse) The...
... Are there any F&Ds that belong to the the umbrellas? I mean, most units have associated fife and drum lines, but are there any big Fife and Drum Corps in...
... Ah....thank you...now I know what question to ask..._were_ there any active units during the Revolution that were simply a F&D corps? -- Colleen, Neen @...
Colleen - My research in this issue (which is not very detailed) is that the Fife and Drum Corp that we know today was developed in the early 20th century (I...
Not in the BB either. Some Brit regiments had a whole band, funded by the colonel of the regiment.I believe a German band was captured in the Saratoga campaign...
I have two questions... First, aren't you in an umbrella? Isn't that what your 'group' is? So is your question why your umbrella doesn't get invited to play...
Jim: I didn't say I didn't know who the CCMA was. I said I didn't know you and that I've never been invited to one of your events. First of all, I'd like to...
I have been following this thread with a bit of interest, probably because I thought we we recruited to attend the Southbury event last season at Lebanon, CT....
Before you get all concerned...or even mad.....contact the BAR adjutant Rich Jenkins and ask why you were turned down. It seems to me that they likely thought...
First question. Yes that is correct. Not individual units. Unafilliated Brits...Members who portray Brits that do not belong to a CCMA unit. Like myself. The...
Bob, You are right in some of your assumptions. The CCMA was originally formed for insurance purposes, at that time we were getting a discount on group rates,...
Bob, sorry I missed one. You asked, "In one of your postings you mention that you "cannot join one outside of the CCMA even if I wanted to for reasons not...
