Very welcome. I made a copy of this list where I posted all other regiment cons in the cons and parties heading. Still have a few more websites that I’m investigating that might have more listing of cons
 
You might have lol I just didn't see it
I think that was in the other list for the Colonial group since i out one in the Cons and Parties area and one in the Colonial main page. Either way it will be added to the lists.
 
Ok will add to the list. Thank you Ashuraa.....and congrats on on retaining the title of RCO.......where was the husband on the 1st nomination vote.........hummmmm?
 
Where he was is that he and I personally don't like self promoting ourselves into positions of power or authority. If other people want us there we will gladly do the job.
