I would be wary of inviting members of the public to join in the ranks. It sounds good in theory but doesn't tend to go down well with insurance companies and can lead to accidents. One group here in Britain does do this on a relatively regular basis and is currently being sued (or the suit may be over now - I'm not sure) by a man who was injured whilst in kit given to him to wear for the day without having recieved proper training. Our insurance expressly forbids this. I haven't seen any instructions on drill or the safe use of kit on the display boards in the large modern tent this other group put in their encampment (which I remain to be convinced looks like a centurio's tent).<br>
