August 30 & 31, 2003
The 225th anniversary of the Battle of Rhode Island.
The site is Glen Farm & Park, Portsmouth RI,
which is where the 43rd and 22nd were ambushed by the Rebels.
Presently this event is on the tentative BAR schedule, and since an active CL unit is helping out with planning we expect it will also be a Northern Dept CL event. I've mentioned this event to Don Beale and perhaps it will be a Big-3 event.
The site has a lot going for it:
big fields, restrooms, swimming beach access, docks for boats, stone walls,
streams, trails, wooded ravines,equestrian facilites and is 10
from downtown Newport.
There's a lot more work to do before we make a big public announcement and invitation, but there's the date: August 30-31, 2003
Also note that this timeslot is
the 225th Anniversary of the landing of the French at Hull in 1778...
it was where the navy and soldiers landed after the naval battle off Newport.
Fort Revere plans to run their encampment about the same time.
