[Hellsgate] Geekfest Demo

[Joe Simmons]

Greetings to the list,
The final word is in on the light weapon fighting for GeekFest.  The word is 
we cannot do it.  Lord Erik has taken his time to talk directly with the 
Campus Police and the Campus Safety people. Their final ruling is no, 
because the Rapiers are steel. Thank you Lord Erik for trying.
 We could do it if we had, and used youth rapier equipment if it is boffers. 
However, I believe that the youth rapier in Ansteorra does not use boffers, 
but rather fencing foils/epees in which case we are still banned because 
they are steel.
We will continue to work this situation towards next years fest so that 
hopefully with enough time and education we can get a go from them for next 
year.

With this in mind please do not even bring the light weapons in your 
vehicles, they are not allowed on campus period.  All the other things, 
armor, bucklers etc. are OK for display.
Also just a reminder no bows, arrows or crossbows are allowed on campus.

Yours in Service
Lord Eric Bentbow
