Medieval joust at Salisbury Univesity
« on: 2015-04-08, 01:36:20 »
We will be jousting at Salisbury University April 18th.  Not really sure what else they have planned but we have need for paid ground crew if you want to join us.

I’ll have to pass as it’s a bit of a drive from Minnesota.   ;)

Please share photos / videos of the joust!  If I only got to choose one thing on my bucket list, it’s jousting.

Regrettably I have to work most Saturday's especially now that several ships are well into the final stages of their repair availabilities. Getting off on the Saturdays the Order is scheduled or trying to schedule events for is becoming a concern for me. :(

Not quite the distance of Lord Rodney, but it's ~350 miles round trip for me. A bit too far, but if there are things further west and I'm available, I'd be interested in helping.

Good luck at the joust!

It is a little over 200 miles round trip for me.  That's further than I like to drive for a day trip.  Hell, I'll talk it over with the wife...who knows, she might be up for seeing a real joust!  Is there a site w/info, MDJouster?

They had an illustrated flyer for the fall show but all I see now is this listing.  We can adjust compensation to cover travel expenses.

Probably not for me, given how far it is to travel. As you can see, it's a bit of a jaunt. ;)

Sounds like a great time, though I probably won't be able to make it either. Let us know how it goes!

I won't be making this after all, but wanted to bump the topic.  Have a great time, hope to see some pics afterward.
