The unit attempts to schedule one primary event per month, and spreads its time between both Public Displays and Tactical Immersions. Attendance is not mandatory, but encouraged by all members as practicalities allow. The nature of an event (Public or Tactical) will be noted where relevant. Other events attended by individuals or small groups of unit members will be discussed on the Message Board.
