[Ansteorra] Youthful Combatants

[Patrickandjulia at aol.com]

Greetings, Ansteorra!

Their Royal Majesties will be making a change to the Marshalate rules.  At 
this time, 16 and 17 year old chivalric combatants participate under the Youth 
rules.  TRMs are interested in allowing 16 & 17 year olds to participate in 
adult combat-related activities with their parent's consent.  By making this 
change, Ansteorra will be getting in line with Society rules.  In most other 
kingdoms, 16 and 17 year olds currently participate in adult combat-related 
activities.  A youthful combatant will be allowed to stay in the Youth category for 
those not interested in transitioning to the adult category but will not be 
allowed to participate in both, youth and adult combat activities.  

If you are a parent with young adults whom this rule would affect, I would be 
interested in receiving your comments.  Please feel free to email me at 
dukepmg at aol.com through January 7th.

In Service,
Duke Patrick Michael Gordonne
Earl Marshal
