2025 2VA Schedule
“These are the times that try men’s soles!”
“What a revoltin’ envelopment this is!”
Come join us and help celebrate our victories with “Reenacting is Hard” Lemonade!
Together, we can throw a blast!!
Music: “The British Grenadiers.” In their honor, our “Reenacting is Hard” Lemonade is made with a touch[hole] of grenadine!
NB: A gill (pronounced “jill”) is 5 British imperial ounces or 4 US ounces, or ¼ pint or ½ cup. A jack is 2 US ounces, ½ of a gill, or 1/8 pint or ¼ cup.
A gill of rum was the daily ration for soldiers and sailors during the Revolutionary War. This rum ration remained in effect for the British Navy until 1970!
