Title: Hello I'm Mike England
Post by: MDJouster on 2014-02-24, 19:08:41

I have known several members of this order for some time now and finally got around to sending in an application last week.  I guess the thing I would be most known for would be , along with my wife, putting together the joust at the VA ren fair since 2006.  That is our main "hobby" - jousting.  We had been SCA members prior to that, doing some fencing and heavy fighting but pretty much going to work exclusively with the horses around 2004 after our first son was born and free time started getting short.    My main fascination historically is the 14-16th century particularly Germany and England.  I like the concepts of this group and have been interested for quite some time but I think I had the wrong forum link as it didn't seem active.  At any rate I am here now and I hope to participate soon.

Well I'll be...I saw you and your wife joust years and years ago when I visited the VARF solo- it was some time before I was inducted into the Order of the Marshal; back then it was just a handful of tents and pavilions- and patrons, or so it seemed at the time.  Welcome to the forums!

Thank you everyone.  I hope I can be a beneficial and occasionally entertaining member of this group.  I am not in England, it is my family name, the origin of which seems to actually be Cherokee but you couldn't tell that by looking at me.  I live in Hampstead MD which is about halfway between Baltimore MD and York PA.
