Join Panzerjager 21

Membership

Membership

The entry age for our society is 18yrs with no age upper limit.    Not only do we attend public events and private battles through the year we are fortunate enough to have 2 locations which we use all year round. The first is just on the outskirts of London in Bushey, Hertfordshire at the site of the WW2 operational HQ of the USAAF 8th Fighter Command. The second is a private rural location in the midlands where our full-size eastern trench network is located.

 

Panzerjäger 21 Historical Society has a unique program to introduce young historians into the re-enactment world early.

We attend around 6-8 public events per year but between these, we will also have meet-ups at our Base in Bushy, Herts. You can be as active as you wish with many group projects always on the go all members help out when they can but it's sole down to the individual how much time he can spare in the hobby.

The group does not have an age cap buy in keeping with the impression we do ask for members to be physically fit as battle re-enactments can be very demanding and members do need to be quick on their feet when necessary.

Our membership is drawn from all over the UK such as Hampshire, Surrey, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, West Midlands, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Northumberland.

Becoming a member can take as long as you like from days to months depending on your availability. With Panzerjäger 21 being an all year group, our next event is ever only a few weeks away and we are always happy to loan new members kit until they have purchased their own via our uniform/kit pool.

For details on becoming a member fill in our online application form and our dedicated membership team will then get in touch and talk you through the process of becoming a member.
