We will need individuals to help with the set-up on Friday, to work the event Saturday and Sunday, which includes fighters (both heavy and rapier), artisans to provide samples and work in the A & S area, and water bearers. Then we will need people to help with the tear-down, packing up and unloading back at the shed afterward. Please make sure that you CAN and WILL make the demo before volunteering. Please reply privately to myself and TEs Daire and Druinne if you would like to volunteer to help with this demo.</FONT></P>
