EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Well, for all the talk about finding events, there is not much response to the invitation I sent to a bunch of people. Maybe we don't have many opportunities because guys don't get involved when there is a chance. Just a thought.

Patrick,

I'm not sure that you're right here. I don't know how many folks you sent the invite to, but there aren't that many of "us" out there. You've got the Critters, 1st Maine, Valley Light Horse, Buttermilk Rangers, 1st Maryland, and a few stray fellas out there like Dan Chmelar and the Horse Hair Mess... that's pretty much it, unless there are folks out your way who I don't know about.

Now if you are looking for individuals in those units to step up and speak, then that is a little different story...

Take care,
Tom Craig

I am refering to individuals. I think all the known groups have been contacted, but in order to dispell the myth of "secrecy" and lack of available information thus far, I would like to see more individuals join and offer suggestions or ask questions and such.
I don't want to "drop the ball" on this, maybe I'm pushing too hard...

Pete,
This is a lot like fishing . You have to put the bait on the hook and wait. I can't do something on my computer at work so I have to go home and do it and then my computer at home bites the dust so I can't when you sent the invite. Be patient grass hopper. Isn't that what David Caraden said in the ole Karate show.

Re: EBUFU Cavalry Events?

Yeah, I guess I just expected more response after so much discussion of getting this event out in the open, and events in general.
I've done all I can, I rehung my bait on a trout line. I'll just go by look at it every now and then for now on.

Patrick,

Don't be discouraged. Its very, VERY early. Besides, there is one unit that will have their annual meeting in about two weeks. They have your event on the adgenda and there is alot of interest in these type events with them.
Patrick, let me say thank you for doing the yoeman's work here. As everyone of us who has ever organized events know, it's sometimes a pain, usually thankless and often discouraging but very necessary.
And hey!, as authentic cav reenactors, we are a small, generally close knit group with common interests and goals. Maybe "we" should make an effort to verbally thank people like Patrick, Tom Craig, Todd Kern, Ronnie Fullwood, Mark Choate, Larry Morgan, Coley Adair and countless others unnamed for volunteering their time, effort and money. All too often we don't.
For those of you guys that "make these things happen", while you will often feel "alone", don't weaken. It will be rewarding (particularly by yourself) and appreciated by all in the end even if they dont often verbalize it. PLEASE don't give up. We really NEED you!
