CiA - AFRA discussion

Chomley-Warner · 2008-02-25T09:58:36Z

It is with great pleasure that Comrades in Arms presents the first benefit to owners of the Comrades in Arms membership card. Since much of what we currently do (and have plans for in the future) has as much to do with re-enactment as airsoft, Comrades in Arms is now affiliated with the re-enactment umbrella organisation AFRA (All Fronts Re-enactment Association). AFRA has representations with the Government and the Home Office as well as Police Authorities representing your interests. AFRA aims also to work alongside established bodies in this field such as NaRES, SBG, WWIILHA and anyone else who is making positive inroads in our sphere of interest. Included in the package: * Admittance to a Members Area of the AFRA website. * Admittance to the AFRA Members Forum * Access to the Events Section where they may inform the Association of their intent to attend a show on the calendar. * Access to the Risk Assessment Section where they may compile an online Risk Assessment to qualify for the relevant insurance. * Comprehensive Insurance Cover for Living History/re-enactment activities. (This includes â€“ Third Party Public Liability Insurance, Theft cover from, to and at an event, Theft cover of items stored securely at home. Member to Member cover. Cover for Vehicles when not covered by the Road Traffic Act (in an arena or behind a rope on a display) Personal accident Cover.*) * Re-enactor status for the purposes of RIF personal importation and RIF purchase from growing number of UK dealers. So, Comrades in Arms have sold out? What happened to their coveted â€˜inclusivelyâ€™? Well, simply put, not much has changed other than a widening of horizon. Our game rules wonâ€™t change - we love players turning up in looks-like kit as itâ€™s the foundation of a new player base. In time kit will â€˜improveâ€™ but always at a personal pace, not dictated by others. But, we recognise other players are looking for something more and for those that do the AFRA package may appeal. Who might benefit? Players who attend re-enactment events not as part of an organised group (often promenading) who are required to have personal Public Liability insurance. Players who require insurance cover for personal injury or loss or damage to kit. Players who want to become part of the bigger re-enactment scene. Players who canâ€™t fulfil the requirements of the VCRA airsofterâ€™s defence (unable to get UKARA as they play at many sites). How do I join Apply to the CiA membership secretary (Old 'Un) by PM, post, email or PM - not on open forum. How do I qualify? CiA will validate your application. You must be over 16yrs. You must have played at a CiA game and hold a CiA membership card (which will be issued from 2nd March 2008) Your level of kit accuracy/completeness must reflect that of a keen re-enactor. You must abide by the rules of AFRA(rules currently under review to reflect new members need) How much does it cost? Â£20 per annum, payable to Comrades in Arms who will process the application with AFRA. ***For more information on AFRA's thoughts and opinions on the affiliation to WW2 Airsoft Reenactment please read Paul Dalby's (PD) post at the bottom of this page***

Sorry if this is really obvious but are we supposed to be in period gear, with helmets etc, or just normal strictly as per the passport photo guidelines?

I am sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but does the game on the 5th and 6th count as a CIA game and towards membership?

Definitly seem to be. I had the pleasure of speaking with them last weekend at the 1940's experence at Bushy, Watford. It's nice to see that people have so much paitence when being bombarded with questions.

Exactly, I tend to be a geardo, to be honest. From looking at their site, they are a possibility, but my first loyality is really airsoft, it's just a pity that work being what it is keeps me from being more active in it.
