Along the same line: Please be aware that for youth rapier
(and I assume youth boffer) a parent or guardian *must* 
be present at any official SCA event where the youth 
fights.  This includes fighter practices.  Thus, a child
who sees the flyer at school can't just come to the 
park and fence; his or her parents have to come too.
