The website has been updated with the workshops and when they are occuring, looks like a full program.

The updated programme is now looking good (Vadi AND Fiore :) ). Shame there won't be any tournaments; hopefully we can make up for that with plenty of freeplay.

Phil's handkerchief workshop is highly entertaining (for some reason, the Foreign Legion garotte sticks in my head). And this time, I WILL master the Mexican strip!

Yes, the full programme is quite appealing - looking forward to it.
Apart from anything, I've never actually been to the Royal Armouries in Leeds before... :oops:

I wish I could attend. But I fear working on my PhD will have my priority.

Because I already have all that stuff in London... :)
And in my spare time I can always think of more appealing places to visit than Leeds. :P

Finally I will go. My wife has accepted with an extra travel to scotland.

It has been a hard negotiation... :?

See you there, then ????

I'm definitely coming and would be happy to share a room with you. Gordon's coming as well I think, and I guess he'll be coming in my car - do they have rooms for three?

Thanks for the offer old chap, most appreciated.
However, Marwood is coming and I'll be travelling with him.

After all, it's traditional.

Just to let you all know, if you are going to SWASH, that I will be posing for photos and signing autographs etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing all my fans again.

Should be good.

And I concur with heaping shame on anybody who has not been to the Armouries and claims to be into swords. It pisses on any other collection I have seen. Even within the M25 Matthew.

But best of all no meeting for Ian so I can actually drink on Friday night! :D

I wonder if I'm still breifly visible on the ECW video there? I look really fierce. Which is odd as I was screaming in terror as I nearly ploughed down the camera man on a horse that knew who was the boss. (We both knew it wasn't me) :lol:
