<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition to all the other fun to be expected at
Guardian this April 14, there will also be an SCA Cut&Thrust class, after
the tournament. This will likely occur at the same time as the White Scarf
circle, so as to maximize the time between the tournament and Circle for the
White Scarves have for pickup fights and instruction. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The class will be a beginning-level class for
Cut&Thrust in the SCA. It will be very similar to the one Aeron Harper
taught at Steppes Warlord last year. We will be covering the rules and
armor/equipment requirements for C<SPAN

blades, but any 35"-45" Darkwood, Del Tin, or Angus Trim rapier, bated rapier,
