	Okay, sounds interesting.  What group is hosting it?  Do you have a
site?  Is there camping available, or is it near some hotels? These things
are important.

	<< Good Morning All,
	     Let's see if I can stir up a bit of interest in this from
people other than the usual suspects. <G>  I'm not sure how widespread I've
sent my personal list of classes I'd like to see but here it is again.

	     I still have to get with the DEM's for Siege and Live Steel but
we would like to offer them a place to spread information about their
respective Weapons' Style.

	     Currently the date is set for the last weekend in June,
unfortunately against Sundered Shield II.  06/29, 06/30, & 07/01

	This is just a list of classes I would like to see and we are still
taking ideas and actively looking for instrucors.  If you have something
you'd like to see or Run at Academy of the Bow please let me know.
