Loaner Fencing Swords
Lord Arnold proposed that the group purchase at least one, preferably two new loaner swords. One rapier is 43" long for melee, the other is 37" long for standard fencing .  Both are $95.00 each-on sale.  With shipping it would cost about approximately $115 each.
 
The Barony owns one adult sword.  The rest are the personal property of Lord Arnold. Since we have a growing community of fencers he feels that this new equipment would be helpful.  
 
Lord Arnold brought one of the proposed swords to fencing practice on Sunday.  All who used it were pleased.
 
A decision will be made on Mon, May 24, 2010

 
Armored Helms
The armored fighters proposed $200.00 (total includes shipping) for two new helms.  
 
A decision will be made on Mon, May 24, 2010
 
 
Demo Table Banner
The Chatelaine would like to have a display banner that would stretch across the front or back of the table at recruiting events. This will help us be identified easier. More discussion and research to follow.  


Slide Show
The Chatelaine would like to create a slide show (running on a computer) to be used at recruiting events. I would appreciate photographs from events past and present that would be helpful to newcomers.  Please send them to- chatelaine at cynnabar.org.  Also, lf anyone is interested in working on this project with Amyon, please contact her.
