<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you have any heavy rapier fighting gear (sword and/or gorget) in your local groups' equipment?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial>No we do not.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>If not, are you willing to talk with your group's seneschal and treasurer about the possibility of buying the equipment?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial>I would, but the first question they are going to ask is what is the cost. If we could get a price, we might be able to convince our finance committes to give us the money.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would you be interested in joining a bulk order with Darkwood to get equipment for your group?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial>If it makes it cheaper, yes,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know if he is going to have a minimum or maximum number of swords that can be ordered at once. Provided that spaces are available, would anyone be interested in joining in on the order, just to have a (possibly another) blade to use or loan out?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=EC_703543200-10012008><FONT face=Arial>Heck yes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
