ES - Re: Rapier fighting

[Armand Dragonetti]

Greetings Sean,

I am forwarding your message to our Rapier Marshal as well as our local
group's online email message board in hopes that someone more able than I
can assist you. I am pleased that you learned about us through our website,
however, the information you mention sounds suspiciously out-of-date. If
what you found refers to Armand's warehouse, then you have indeed found
information from last year's winter practices. My apologies, it should have
been removed. But, there may in fact be an indoor Rapier practice at some
other nearby location and while our practices are certainly open to anyone,
please wait for a response from our Rapier Marshal (Sebastian) or another
active rapier participant to confirm the current location and schedule. If
you want to contact Sebastian directly I have his current email address as:
houseloboblanco at yahoo.com
Thanks, and I'm sure that you'll have a response (or two) soon.

To all who would reply: Please respond directly to Sean at spf32 at yahoo.com
as he will not see a reply sent to the Elfsea List.

In Service to Knight, Kingdom & Crown,
Lord Armand Dragonetti
Elfsea Virtual Scribe
Squire to Sir Galen of Bristol
