[James Crouchet]

Two other notes:

- put your name on the staff in an obvious place.
- bring it to Gulf Wars!

Christian Doré, Kingdom Rapier Marshal

> Because we had six fields running, I saw several instances where one
> or both marshals on the field were working without a marshalling
> pole. This isn't quite as much of a problem for the armored folks,
> who can usually scrounge up a spear or polearm, but it is for the
> rapier fighters. I normally bring three marsahlling poles to any
> tournament I attend and it's *very* rare that my spares don't get used.

> So, I'm issuing a challenge to the rapier fighters in Ansteorra: If
> you're authorized as a marshal, you should have your own marshalling
> pole. Buy a stick of rattan, cut it off to five or six feet (maybe
> give or sell the rest to an armored fighter who needs a new sword)
> hit the ends with some paint or colored tape--black and yellow are
> the usual marshallate colors--and you're good to go.
