	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.

unfortunately against Sundered Shield II.  06/29, 06/30, & 07/01

taking ideas and actively looking for instrucors.  If you have something
