The convention does not run on SCA time.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">• They are not any badges for fighters; HOWEVER, they will not need them to gain access to the demo space.

Fighters should have access to these as needed.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">• Due to convention weapon policy, I would suggest any rapier fighters to keep their weapons stored away until they get to the demo space. Staff/volunteers may mistake a rapier sword as an open weapon and then things can get complicated.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">• QUICK NOTE - The con is run by volunteers who may not understand what or who the SCA is. If they stop anyone because of their weapon, just let the fighters know to be polite and explain they are going directly to the demo area for their event. If they still have trouble, they should have a contact number so you/someone at the table can help them.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div></blockquote><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Table Demo Info<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">•Proof of current membership – your Blue card or your Digital card.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">•Please make sure your Art and/or Science is something you can carry; no equipment bigger than a table top size loom if you bring a fiber art like this.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">•Unfortunately, there are not any badges to roam the con.</div></blockquote><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0000ff">Have any questions?
