In our ongoing effort to provide our members with high quality regional mid level events, be reminded that the Romney event is to be held this coming weekend. The weather forecast is very favorable and the event people are well prepared for our arrival. The camps are located near the South Fork of the Potomac River and situated on real ground of an early war battle that took place there. There will be shuttle buses provided all weekend so our members can attend the Hampshire Heritege Days in the town of Romney which is a clean attractive town with various historic buildings. You will be provided a free breakfast by the event the day and time TBA at the event. I am told there are over 400 registered for this first time event for our organization and looks to be right in line with our tradition of great events. The event will accept walkons at $1 each since this is sort of central to both our Western and Eastern regions we welcome you to attend if you haven't registered yet it will be another great event.

AFTER ACTION REPORT: Lisbon
Take notice; the Lisbon Ohio event remains one of the best on our schedule. This event is held on plenty of acreage with just the right varying terrain to produce some very interesting scenarios. There is a period style log house in a picturesque orchard not far from a period style covered bridge of which we used in our scenarios. Let me say this the camping there is supreme and the event organizers could not have been more accommodating. My hat is off to Mary Spooner for putting off one of the best organized events we attend. We wanted for nothing and many perks were provided, the concessions were first rate and reasonably priced. Please consider this event for your 2007 schedule it is a high quality event.
Our thanks to the 66th OVI for putting on what we were told was a first rate judged tactical and to Captain Rob Shick their commander for leading the 1st battalion. Birneys Division 2nd Battalion was skillfully led by our very capable 2nd battalion commander Lt Col Chris Smith and the entire Brigade was led by Col Paul Baltzer of Birney's Division, a job well done. I wish also to thank Capt Doug Taylor and his gun crew for an amazing job on the gun line which saved our bacon more than once that weekend. Our counterpart Capt Jim Powell of 2nd Regiment PACS was a joy to work with and did a great job on the field and in the scenario planning. It is always a pleasure to work with PACS commanders and it goes to show that the Shenandoah Valley Alliance is working well.
We look forward to this event on the coming season and look to see many more of you there to enjoy this great event.
