CROATIAN FORCES

Requirements and Guidelines

Below are the current requirements and guidelines that members should abide by in order to maintain their status as an active display member of the

CFLHG;

Members are to obtain their own uniform, weapon and equipment items at their own expense. (A full kit inspection of all group members will be

carried out each morning, any items that are out of character for the period or forces we portray will be requested to be removed before the member(s)

enter the display area) Members should make their own travel arrangements in order to get to event locations. Members are required to attend a

MINIMUM of one display event within an annual event season. Members are responsible for their own camping facilities when attending events.

(If sleeping within the display confines, members tents are required to be of military issue so as to maintain a realistic military appearance upon the

Living History field. Modern civilian tents will not be allowed within the display area).

We are an informal group when on display with a relaxed feeling amongst our members.

We like to place few rules upon our members 'BUT WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE WITH REGARDS TO SAFETY'. Should you join us it is hoped that you enjoy your time within the group. We are so far unique in that we are the only known group within the field of Living History to be portraying this conflict and in particular the Croatian Army. We Thank you for taking an interest in who we are and what we do, should you be interested in taking things further please come and see us at one of our future events, or email your details to cflhg@talk21.com

All members are to abide by any group/event stipulated Health & Safety and General Conduct rules, members who violate (or continue to violate following

previous warnings) such rules may be expelled from the group (following the overall consensus of other members) depending upon the severity of the

violation. Whilst we all enjoy socialising at these events, members are reminded that their behaviour reflects not only on themselves but also upon the group as a whole, any complaints received from other groups or event organisers referring to any members behaviour could dependent upon the severity also lead to them being expelled. (Enjoy your drink and time with everyone, but keep things civil, it's not much to ask).

Under NO circumstances are members permitted to carry live or blank firing ammunition at events (we do not participate in any battle re-enactments and as such do not have a need for these), inert ammunition is permitted. Safety is strictly enforced and any violations WILL NOT be tolerated. All firearms used on display must be legally deactivated as either old or new specification with an A5 copy of the weapons original Proof House deactivation certificate supplied to the membership secretary upon purchase of such weapons.

The models of weapons suitable for display use within our military period are easily & cheaply found now, and as such members are expected to display with a deactivated weapon, we do not allow 'air soft' weapons for display use.

We are an historical group and not an air soft group, it is felt that we can not be expected to correctly demonstrate our groups weapons to the public if the type of weapon shown is not an authentic period item. Any member (s) found to be in violation of the UK Firearms Regulations will be expelled from the group and reported to the appropriate authorities.
