She asked that we hold off for now, as there is no final decision about switching from PVC to shaved rattan yet. She asked all interested parents and marshalls to meet with her at Agincourt, and bring any rattan weapons
you have so we can discuss our experiences with them and what construction techniques we're using. Rattan weapons are still considered EXPERIMENTAL in AEthelmearc. Be sure to bring PVC weapons to Agincourt, as we don't know yet whether rattan will be permitted in the tourney.</span><span><font class="yiv1385036521Apple-style-span" size="2"><div class="yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_24_131436516641979 yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_17_131491212114771 yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_17_1314912121147433 yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_19_131617493286383" id="yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_17_1314912121147225"><span class="yiv1385036521Apple-style-span yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_24_1314365166419131" id="yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_17_1314912121147397"><span class="yiv1385036521Apple-style-span" id="yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_17_1314912121147424"><br></span></span></div><div class="yiv1385036521yui_3_2_0_24_131436516641979
