ARN - Heavy Rapier Only?

[Wayne Ross]

Just picking nits here Isobel, but the GoG tournament right now mainly has
the tradition of NOT BEING HELD. I have been working over a year with the
past holders of the Gauntlet, several groups throughout the Kingdom, and
others, to try to get it going again. A long time has passed since the last
GoG. It's (hopeful) rebirth could be seen as an opportunity to evolve it
into what would be the current ideal of "the second most prestigious rapier
tournament in Ansteorra". You may be right. This may be the wrong place to
try to show how much we have grown. Maybe next year.
