With shipping it would cost about approximately $115 each.<br> <br>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. <br> <br> Lord Arnold brought one of the proposed swords to fencing practice on Sunday.

Our site will be under a grove of trees by the river. <br> <br> We are waiting for confirmation from the Festival organizers regarding set-up and tear down. <br> <br> From the information on the website we can set-up from 5pm, Thurs, May 19 - Fri, Aug 20 at 11:30am. The Festival officially opens at 12pm Friday. Once we set up our tents, list field, etc, they must stay up throughout the entire event. Things can be put away for the night, but the same displays, etc must be up the next day. Cars cannot be brought in and out every day. <br> <br> We cannot begin to tear down until 6pm, Sun, Aug 22.<br> <br> We must provide our own security throughout the night. That means someone or several need to stay OVERNIGHT after we are set-up. There is great concern about this issue. It was expressed that as a group we are just back from Pennsic; that people may not be able to get more time off from work; that this commitment could be too much. <br> <br> Amyon will speak to the organizers and explain our concern. Perhaps there is a way to have a shorter presence. Perhaps just walk in, give a demo for a few hours one day, then walk out.<br> <br> More discussion to come.<br> <br> <br> <font size="3"><em><u>Thrones</u></em></font><br> Their Excellencies have a quote from Baron Conal for $250.00 each for an unfinished chair($500.00 for two chairs) Further, it would be an extra $25 per chair($50 for two) for the finish of their choice. <br> <br> His Excellency Gregoire has offered some thoughts on how the current thrones might be modified temporarily, in case viable options for replacements are not found.<br><br> Their Excellencies do remain interested in hearing any thoughts that people have on this topic as we would like to involve as many people in the Barony as possible.<br> <br> <br> <font size="3"><em><u>Big House Big Heart Charity Run</u></em><br></font><font size="2">Oct, 2-3, </font><br> <font size="2">University of Michigan Football Stadium</font><br>Registration before Aug 31 is $13/person.
