  2. Nothing sad about it mate, everyone in The Archangel crewe contributes by sewing, making buttons, guns, swords, you name it... even the kids are learning to hand sew! Besides you can't go wrong sewing by hand for GAoP! Yeah I hear you! Honestly we don't mind what you wear as long as you drop by and say hello! Sounds grand. We'll spoil ye in return with some of Skittles' homemade lemon curd and almond cakes! And if I know Rats and Pete, we'll have more Guinness than the hotel pub!
  3. Tis a long weekend show (Friday-Sunday) with vendors, lecturers, demonstrations, recruiting, skits, historical jeopardy contest, school kids coming in on Fridays perhaps, ect. There is a Reenactor's Ball this year for the first time, and a special party for vendors as well. Last year there was a wine tasting, which hopefully may be repeated this year... Since this is only the second year for this event, the organizers are still trying to arrange the best fun for all involved. Plans for future events do include moving it around the country so all, eventually, can take turns attending.

  10. Well according to the local historians in Newport,RI, the town would not have become as rich and prosperous as it had without the major influence of pirates on the area's economy... As they put it, At first a small seaport, it was the priates that came to trade the goods they plundered, and spend the money they had... that allowed Newport to flurish. As it grew, others moved in to stake a claim in business and settle down... but once the local merchants began to get rich and attract other successful commerce they wanted to become respectable as well and turned on the pirates, capturing and executing a large score of them... actually holding mass hangings at a time... So you may want to contact folks or google more of the history of Newport... oh the White Horse Tavern is one of the original buildings to the time frame... it was supposedly a major hang out for pirates and is rumored to have a tunnel system beneath it for hiding goods.. I also heard rumor that last May a new book regarding Pirates and Newport came out... I have no clue how accurate it may be
