Kom heil og sael!

  First I will have a sign up sheet at troll for authorizations.  If you are
needing to be authorized in any form of heavy combat ( Fiber Spear, Glaive,
siege weapons, marshaling or combat archery) please indicate on the sigh up
sheet.  I will make the time to have classes on these if need be, even for 1
person.   Now on to other buisness...

The fighting for the weekend looks like this.

Sat Morn.  Cattle raids:   Merchants are taking thier cattle to market.  You
can be gaurds or Bandits.  At the market there are the Kings Gaurd to protect
the market from bandit scum, lol.  This is a town battle, with real buildings
and all.  There is a permanent village constucted inside the walls.

Sat Afternoon:  Border Wars.  Melees led by Duke Kein.  We will have castle
front battles, field battles, bridge battle, and maybe some suprises.

hundred wood shafts       that are partially complete, to those who complete
them.
2.  Throwing Axe making class.  Need foam and duck tape.
3.  Siege weapon competition

Arrow supplies:
1/4" fiberglass rod
nocks or overnocks (nocks require a taper, overnocks do not)

golf tube, cut to 1 1/4" cyllinders (or with a 45 degree taper on the front
edge, depending on design used)
strapping tape to attach APD, head
electrical tape (or more strapping tape) for the body of the arrow (1"
electrical tape is ideal - only 1 seam)

tapered one end) disks, center drilled 1/2"
1/2" closed cell foam (most commonly camp pads), cut into 1 1/4" disks (find a
pipe or tube of metal with 1 1/4" ID and sharpen the end with a grinder)
household glue to secure the UHWM (dries flexible is prefered)

See you there..
