6) Are potential ethical or moral issues something you would take into account when participating in an event? Yes.

7) If yes, what issues would you consider? What is the most important? Need for authenticity, simply because of the fact that you are meant to be educating the public, not giving them a false impression.

8 ) Which would be of more importance to you in an event? [b]A mix of both education and entertainment is a must in my opinion, it has to be entertaining to keep the public intrested, and so they can enjoy themselves, but one of the main points of re-enactment/living history is to educate.
