But a Pike or Halberd makes a beautiful and impressive formal piece as well,
proudly displayed and handled in ceremonial settings. Just look to either side of Their Excellencies or Their Majesties at your <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">next Court</st1:address></st1:Street>. As I learn and perfect some of the Tudor era English Pike Drills, I would enjoy sharing this knowledge, and if there is enough interest, even form a Namron Ceremonial Pike Team. <o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With Lord Terrance’s approval, perhaps we could have our first drills at Med Fair, where I would teach some fundamental moves. And, of course, you need not be late English to participate. Just come prepared to have fun and look good while doing so!<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div

If not, all you need to do is make progress to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up a 7 foot piece of 1 ¼ inch pine round stock. It’s back in the lumber department, and runs less than $2/foot (at least it did last time I looked). Be sure it is reasonably “true,” and they will cut to length. Just sand it smooth, and if you wish, you can stain and seal it. That will be your practice pole.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If we have enough
