New to reenactment?
We are recruiting! Reenactment is a fun and rewarding hobby, open to all races, ages and genders. All you have to be is fairly fit and active.
Regulations
KGK like other quality groups has in place a set of rules and regulations to ensure the smooth and effective running of the group and its resources , these rules and regulations are set out below so that all members are kept up to date about what is expected from them when taking an active role within the group both in public activities and as a group member of KGK.
We review the group rules and regulations on a yearly basis unless there is a change in legislation that prompts an earlier revision such as a change in the deactivation of firearms legislation for example.
Those group members that flaunt the set rules and regulations will be invited to leave the group , so that the stability and harmony and goodwill within the group is not threatened by their actions.
General Appearance
In portraying the German soldier of WWII, we expect that groups members endeavour to be as authentic as possible in their portrayal and that they maintain the the posture that would be expected from a soldier both when at a dosplay for the public or in a battle and act accordingly and with honour and good will .
If you are unsure about any anything petaining to your role within the group ie regarding weapons , appearance or uniform ,then you should ask the group spiess who will give you valuable advice and knowledge that will assist you in your role.
We would also in addition request that you strive to maintain an authentic appearence when at displays and battle , such as for example:
Hair style - short back and sides
Beards - not permitted
Moustaches - short and trimmed
Events
It is expected that when you attend events that you conduct yourself with decorum and with manners so as not to bring yourself or the group into disrepute , aslo that you refrain from getting intoxicated and making a fool of yourself embarassing the group and yourself .
General Regulations that members are expected to adhere to
1. You must respect the other group members and their property.
2. You must not talk to members of the press or other asociated media, this ensures that you and the group will not be misrepresented by those that seek to undermine this hobby as a whole.
3. Do not swear in front of members of the public, nor show aggression towards them , groupmembers or members of other groups.
4. Think Health and Safety at all times , are all guns knives and other weapons stored safely away from the public , when in a battle take extreme care not to injure anyone and take your hits without making a fuss and starting ill feeling.
5. No Nazi Salutes at anytime, neither in jest nor in joke, or because a member of the public wants a nice pose. This is forbidden and will upset people and there is no justification for it.
6. Obey the instructions given by the organisers and their marshals at all times.
7. Never ever give your weapon to a member of the public even for photograhic purposes this as this is illegal and bad practice that shold be avoided at all costs.

10. All weapons must be secureed and never carried in public, such as openly in the streets or public highway in a manner in which could cause fear to the public.
