Understandable Sir Wolf.  Anyone else?  Sir Nathan?  Sir Brian?  Anyone?

It's ok if a few come to the event, more likely, I can see us posting plenty of pictures and videos by the time the event is over.   ;)

Sir Joshua, I'm not going to make it.  Money's tight and there's other things that I want more.  Hopefully they'll let you take pics so you can tell us all about it.

Sir William: I understand, no problem at all.

Sir Edward:  Correct me if I'm wrong, are you attending the weekend portion of the event or are attending the full event?

My reason for asking is that I am attending the entire event and I will be having my pops there to video tape (if they allow us) the event including the free fencing portion for each day.

I'm just coming on the weekend, so that I don't need to take any time off from work. Also, the first day will be mostly basics anyway. The second day would probably be review for me as well.

Sir Wolf, I just caught this...you work in the prison system?  You don't seem...mean or jaded enough, if you don't mind me saying.  When James B isn't smiling, he looks like he could be a guard.  lol

Understandable Sir Edward, I see you want me to do all of the "hard work" before you pop up eh?  JK  ;)  Will look forward to see you at that weekend!   ;)

hahaha nonono. i have a convention that day at the prison. it is no longer a prison but one of the only places large enough to have open to all of the county for the children to come get backpacks, crayons, checkups, haircuts etc for back to school. i go and set up a table to draw up business for the fall.

OH!  That sounds like an excellent program!  I would wonder why they don't do something similar here, but they might and I just don't know about it.

the county is a LOT of low income families. so the state pays for all the kids back to school needs and has the get dental, haircuts and physicals too.

I see, I wonder if Sir Nathan would be attending the event?

Umm..... do you mean NHSC or the back to school one? You quoted the back to school one - Sir Nathan is graduating this month.
