Roxbury Mill All-Rapier Event (long)

["Chuck Graves" <chuck_graves@mail.hq.faa.gov>]

Greetings, one and all, from Tadhg macAedain uiChonchobhair.
     
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a wonderful event in 
northern Atlantia. The event is on June 22 and 23 in Hagerstown, MD, so 
should be accessible to our cousins in the East and the Middle.
     
The Shire of Roxbury Mill is hosting the rapier portion of the event; 
Highland Foorde is hosting the remainder (archery, heavy weapons, and A&S). 
The event itself is a demo during the day (so there will be lots of people 
with questions) and ours in the evening at the Jonathan Hager House. The 
only cost is for the feast ($7 before June 10, $8 thereafter). Camping. Dry 
by day, discreetly wet after dark.  
     
Hereafter are the details for the rapier portion:
     
*************************************************************************** 
Rapier activities will include the playing of Prizes, a Bear Pit list, melees 
and training for melees, the Lady Jane Scenario, a Schlager Demonstration, 
Grass Before Breakfast (Sunday dawn duels), and possibly a Round Table 
Discussion regarding what rapier combat is about, what it means, and the 
regional differences found in Atlantia. The activities will start early and 
run into the evening, with a lunch break during the heat of the day. Grass 
Before Breakfast will be duels held at dawn or so on Sunday. They are 
intended to be a high persona activity, spectators are not expected. 
Autocrat(rapier): Tadhg macAedain uiChonchobhair, (301)942-9551; 
Autocrat(event): Gordon the Righteous, (301)473-8015.
