The youth fighters would rotate through a single list that will be shared with adult heavy weapons and rapier fighters. When not fighting, we would like the youth fighters to talk with kids in the audience about what we do and why it's fun. <b>Please let me know if your youth fighter can attend the demo, so I know if
we'll have enough fighters. </b>The demo will start mid-morning and run through the early afternoon.

Ceindrech and I built two regular swords, two hand-and-a-half swords, and one polearm from the two staves of rattan, and they worked pretty well. We'll be ordering more rattan soon and are in talks with our Knight Marshall and Baron about possibly placing an order with the same supplier Ealdormere uses at some future date.</div><div class="yiv66146293yui_3_2_0_24_131436516641979 yiv66146293yui_3_2_0_17_131491212114771
