Agincourt 2015

[James Barker]

Come on Chuck start planning now! Two weeks in France with a two day detour! I am likely to have kids by then too but it won't stop Kim and I from going.

I wonder what are France's rules on reenactment swords since I will be flying in. I know the English have made things much harder since I was there in 06.

[Sir William]

Maybe Sir Gerard would be amenable to us shipping him our tourney swords prior to embarking on travel?  That way you needn't deal with a potentially sticky situation at the airport, no muss no fuss.  Just an idea, apologies to Sir Gerard for volunteering him prematurely. 

Then there's the whole harness...will you gents be checking luggage?  I'm leery of doing so...my luck being what it is, they could lose the whole shebang and I'll be stuck running around in my smallclothes.  lol

Boxers or brais?

For Hastings I had my sword, maille, and helmet along with my reenactment clothing in one bag. Shield I checked separately (was free in 06). My wife and I shared a bag with modern clothing and she had another all to herself .

Across the pond?  Braies, most definitely.

Of course I am more than happy to help out in any way that I can.

I`m not too sure how the whole transporting of weapons and kit works from accross the pond but going from the UK to the continent isn`t a problem as long as you declare it and the reason for it`s transportation when you book tickets etc.

If you want I can look into this further but things can change so much over the next couple of years.

[Sir William]

No rush, Sir Gerard...as you say, a lot can change over a few years so we can wait til we're closer to the mark.

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

Well gentlemen the clock is ticking down to the big event.

Lady Joanne, the troublesome Caralee and I are attending this event in 2013 as a warm up for the big one in 2015. If any of you find you have the funds ( and the permission from the wives) please feel free to accept our offer of accommodation and transport for this event.

I will of course keep you posted how it all goes and look forward to seeing a couple of you in the next few years

[Sir James A]

I'm quite tapped out for extensive travel due to Days of Knights expenditures, but I look forward to the updates and perhaps ... pictures? Have a great time!

[Sir William]

I don't think I'll be able to do it, but I'm saving my coin now for this trip; Sir Gerard, take many pictures, drink a lot of mead and ale, eat lots of food and enjoy yourselves!  We look forward to details!

[Sir Gerard de Rodes]

So very sorry to miss this event. I know you will have enough fun for all of us that cannot make it!

There's a chance I may be able to swing this.  Several folks from La Belle and DoK will be going.  Believe it or not my wife is pushing to go to this as well!   It's just very hard for me to make plans over a year out, but I will work towards this!

[Aiden of Oreland]

Is there going to be another one of these celebrations? Because I would be interested in going to the next one, even if it is 100 years
