<div>To the Rapier Community of both Atlantia and Ansteorra,<br>
<br>
I am preparing for a grand quest to attend the Battle of Nations, while I am used to fighting in little more than plastic and a light coat of oil I find myself in need of donations or sponsorship (or advice in how to get it or raise funds).<br>
<br>
I have been asked to be a part of Team USA who will be traveling to Poland at the end of April to compete in this event. I will not be able to support the other Americans on the Team without help.<br>
<br>
Please take a look at my site and even if you can't donate perhaps you can help spread the word.<br>
<br>

<div>While we are not going really rapiery stuff here we are using metal weapons.</div>


<div>I hope to make it back to the rapier field as well.</div>


<div>Thanks<br>
<br>
Sir Guy<br>
