What I didn't count on was the lingering financial impact of the COVID pandemic. While some of our company are able to make it, others are not. Therefore, regardless of the need to have a relaxing time in the woods, it cannot be done.
Perhaps some other time, if the fates allow.

Re: Crossroads in Time June 19-30 2021!
He who does not give what he has does not get what he wants. While things are not well now, either things will be better in June 2021 in which case there will be no impediments to holding CiT or the situation will not be better in which case the need for CiT will be greater. So, I proceed with the i...

Re: Crossroads in Time June 19-30 2021!
I haven't decided against 2021 yet. But things have not proceeded well, since the time I conceived of this and now. We live in a time of fiscal uncertainty, pestilence (which may or may not be real depending on your "facts") and doubt. CiT is either a masterful idea or it is sheer madness.

Re: Crossroads in Time June 19-30 2021!
Between all the events of the world, and the lackluster response, I'm beginning to think this isn't such a great hill to try and push up. I don't know whether I really want to put out the energy, funds, and physical effort to put this together.

Crossroads in Time June 19-30 2021!
I have returned from Outremer again, and my compagnons in the Compagnie du Chalis are minded to hold another Crossroads in Time from June 19 to June 30 2021. I have begun preparations by conducting a detailed site survey of many campsites east of Cedar City, Utah. I have found many meadows and treed...

Piotr, I have a 15th century cuirass and great bascinet in my collection. I feel that for Agincourt-era presentation, it would be great, with most of my late 14th century limb protection, but I wonder about the spaulders.

Yes I can strike these replica coins in sterling silver. The penny-sized coins are are $6 each, and the groats are $12 each. Half groats are $9 each. We can talk discounts for quantity if it comes to it.
