CAMPFOLLOWERS’ REGENCY RAMBLE – JULY 2020
Regency Rambles was established during the COVID lockdown to create an opportunity for reenactors, Janeites and Regency lovers to come together and continue to discover and learn about all things early Regency 1800-1820.
Recently an online Regency inspired breakfast was held. Each participant prepared a breakfast in the Regency style, dressed the part. We listened to two excellent speakers. Jane Walton from Britain spoke about historical headwear and how to take care of hats and bonnets. Jane was followed by the ever eloquent Mr. Zack MacLeod Pinsent, also from Britain. Zack entertained us with a talk on Gentlemen’s Morning Attire and Etiquette.
Several members of the IMUC/IMAC Campfollower group participated; Carol Whelan, Jacquie, Sophie and Maeve Durham, Nancy Kinsmen, Darlene Kingstone, Peter St Denis and Liz Webb. Our good friend Beth Bristow joined us on line as well.
