It's been a very busy year for the RSATN... and as it comes to a close, I have some thanks that I'd like to dole out!
I'll be very honest when I say that I had NO idea that starting and running a group of this nature was going to be so much work. Fortunately there have been some brilliant, magnificent and pretty-sort-of-marvelous people along the way that have stepped in and made the effort worthwhile...
Whether you did the leg work to find the perfect period appropriate sermon, brought awesome regency games for a party, hosted an informative workshop, built a beautiful coffin to ride on the wagon, took and shared amazing photographs, stepped up to portray a historical character for the public, promoted the group in the press or to friends, did research so you could bring period-correct food to a picnic, invited a friend to come 'give us a try', helped set-up, tear down or clean up after an event, or just generally volunteered your time, talent or resources for the benefit of the group... Not only has your assistance been invaluable in growing our merry band and making it more enjoyable, but it has aided ME personally, and I want you to know that I appreciate all your efforts. Thank you.
I also wanted to thank the historic sites we've visited this past year and the people that work in them that have made our group feel welcome.
Cragfont Mansion for the picnic and house tours
Bledsoe State Park for the use of the grounds and the special Rogan Cottage tour
Percy Warner Parks for use of their spectacular facilities
And especially Historic Rock Castle, who has allowed us unprecedented access to their facilities, grounds and the house itself on more than one occasion.
I've posted a little photographic retrospective for 2011 on the RSATN blog for us to remember our great year by! I hope you enjoy it.
