Impossible for me to speak of roman reenacting, because I am not yet a roman reenactor but I can speak of civil war and medieval reenactments !
What I search in reenacting ? Friends ? Yes, of course friendship is very important but I can find friends in sports associations or others less expensives hobbies activities. To have fun ? Yes, also. I don’t do that to have disagreements !
No. I had always interest in history and reenactment is the only one activity where it is possible to find a total immersion in another period. Altogether for me and all my family.
In that way, I don’t need public and even, it is possible to say that public is for me more a nuisance that a pleasure ! My best reenactments reminds are for without public events.
Anyway, I often goes to public events. But as I don’t accept to be paid, until now, as public don’t help me to buy my gear, don’t paid for my travel to coming the event - very expensive and I am not rich - I think I have no duty for the public. It is sometime very interesting to explain that or this to public, but reenactment is a hobby, not a job : if I don’t like what I do, I stop and go…
After that, if I’ll decide to attend an event where my unit or me be paid, of course, I’ll consider to have duty !
Whoua !!! Sorry, but it is very difficult for me to write in English…. :wink:
