Demo For History Club
Sir William:
I'd forego bringing in any weapons, especially sharp ones. If that was something you wanted to do, you'll want to make sure that the Principal, VP and teacher(s) are on board with that otherwise it could cause a problem. I'd go with the video that Sir Ian did on How a Man Shall be Armed (its on Youtube iirc), maybe bring in a few bits of armor, a shield if you have one, your helm- and be prepared to answer questions about the video.
Aiden of Oreland:
You know I saw that video awhile back, I had no idea who it was until he put on the jupon lol. But ya, its an after school event, even then, I dont think I would be allowed. Then again, my teacher did bring in an SA knife. No, I will just wear armor and dosomething like Sir Ian did, except with 13th century or just show a the video. MAYBE I can bring in a 1340 kit too. I may also purchase a sheet of mail to pass around, anything but butted because this is a historical demo.
Sir Wolf:
ya schools are a bad idea anymore :(
Sir Edward:
I think it goes beyond the "weapons in a school" thing though. What we've found at our other demos, is that the sharps tend to stay hidden away, just because everyone (kids particularly) can get grabby with the display items. People respect maces and hammers, but swords are thought of more like toys, and it's easy to accidentally cut yourself even if you're careful.
So I'll usually put a couple of maces on the table, but for swords, I usually only put out the wasters, synthetics, or steel trainers.

I plan to get a River Thames Mace this summer, so I'll try and get permission. My teacher would probably be totally fine if I did, but I may have to let him sneak it in lol.
I may put together a power point, do you think I should stick to warfare aspect of a knight, or also include their duties at home and their lifestyle.
