Ulrich, a little rust doesn't hurt...if you take care of it the same day.  My greaves started rusting at the last gathering in the rain....a little elbow grease and some Flitz and boom, back in business.

Sir Edward, I got a popup when I clicked your link about the site certificate.  Just FYI.

I am indeed on cast at PaRF, most of my time is spent at the Trayned Band (Millitary Encampment) Camp in the picnic grove. I'm in all the demos we do, but if you stop by camp when we are not having a demo we can chat. Sir John, I would really like to meet you, you seem very knowledgeable. With all the bad weather this season, it doesn't seem implausable that an extra weekend may tacked on to the end of the season as has been done in years past. Nothing has been said yet, but we have closed early twice and not even opened one day, so it is possible.

I may be able to make the 14th, but I'm not completely sure yet - it depends on a few things between now and that weekend. I will not be able to make the 21st due to conflicts, so hopefully the 14th will be the Saturday that you go.

I'm there every weekend. Stop at the Trayned Band Camp in the Picnic Grove and ask for me. Unless we are doing a demo or I am out of camp on "assignment" I should be free to talk.

I was often in camp, but I had not yet joined the unit. The gentleman in your pic is Kyle, he has since replaced the cheap and rather poor quality breast and back with a much better one.

I still intend to go this Saturday if it doesn't rain. Since noone else in my group are goinh in period dress, I will be going as "Sir John" but I will not be wearing a helm or carrying a shield...I will be wearing my "dress" outfit...much fancier than my other one.

I previously posted about going on the 14th, but I meant 15th (saturday). It is still undetermined for me, but I will post by Friday if I am able to go or not.

I'm still waiting to see if it will rain. In any case, you know my coat of arms in which I will be wearing, so stop and introduce yourself.

Don't forget to stop at the Millitary encampment in the picnic grove and visit. I should be there most of the day, we have demos at noon and 5:30 of the artillery piece out on Bosworth Field. At 1 and 2:30 we do our Matchlock Musket demos in the camp and at 2:45 and 6 we march in the procession to Chess and Joust. I think we are short handed again this weekend as Sarge is at drill so I will most likely be doing musket and not pike most of the day.

I didn't post a knight of the week because I was at the PA REN FR last week and met Sir Matthew. I attached a picture of us.

Excellent picture. Wish I had had more time to chat. Maybe next time we won't be so busy.
