A Gentleman should void himself before arming...

Hmm, I may have to see if I can get that weekend off work. I should have some kit together by then.

I might be able to come. Might be able to fiddle leave dates and spend some time in Alconbury again. And just coincidentally make the trip there.

I shake my tiny fist at your silly English castles.

Americans need to build more castles, dammit.

WOW, just Wow. Fighting at a castle-my dream. I'm jealous...
Some nice pics there as well. If I couldn't fight, I'd photo the event which for me, could be just as fun.
Have fun to those who attend!

Brother Logan,

I respectfully remind you that you owe me a bout as well, since your Liege Lord prevented your attendence at Nebelwald's April events.

I will be waiting on the bridge just behind Robert... :wink:

Cadogan

Posted: **Tue May 02, 2006 8:46 am**

Robert, if I can make it I will come.

Brother Logan if I can make it I will be in line right behind Sir Cadogan as we still have an unkept engagement as well.

Gawd I love being here in Europe!!!

Thorald, God Grant that you may come, and as many of your family and kinsmen as may come in your wake also.

Let me know of your certain coming as soon as you may,

Godspeed,

Robert

Friend Logan,

We too have unfinished business, for the honour of your Lady.

But I would have you meet me refreshed and eager, so we should meet at your convenience - during this meeting if possible, another time if not.

Posted: **Wed May 10, 2006 4:43 am**

There are now twenty two men-at-arms certain to attend, and many more who are pledged to attempt to do so.

The combats will be extraordinary.

Spread the word, make provision to travel, and come to the best fighting Location in the Known world.

Posted: **Wed May 10, 2006 4:53 pm**

It's possible. Depending on my obligations, I may be moving over there about a week prior to the event for about two years. I hope I hope I hope.
