The website seems to have quite a few blank pages - is this due to them being under construction, or is my browser playing up?

:) Looking very much forward to it.

Could you tell me when approximately the last classes will be finished on sunday? I'm currently deciding which flight to take back on sunday/ monday...

EDIT: Just assumed last year's times and booked. See you there! :)

Just an update to let everybody know that we have some website problem that has made us unable to put up the registration form, it wil be corrected shortly though so you can register for Swordfish.

The schedule will be up at the same time.

if he can not hold the class, I will do.... sitting on opponents is one of my favorite techniques ;)

Thanks a lot, Harry, but Daniel has confirmed that he will hold the class. Unless, of course, you two want to fight it out. :-) I'd like to see that.

unfortunately Tomek and Piotr from Ringschule Wroclaw will not host wrestling classes this year, we are currently in contact with different replacements. If you have registered to participate in their classes you can refill the registration form (perhaps after the new classes have been added)

So far it seems that the sword and buckler tournament has the most participants, which is great news! participants in the other tournaments are constantly registering aswell.

Looks like I'm going to miss this one, folks. I was hoping I would have a job by now, but things look very grim. I've been unemployed for eight months now. :?

My sympathies as well Derek - it was a bit touch and go for me as well this summer.
Please could one of you nice people at the GHFS put me down for synthetic longsword and sword and buckler tournaments as well - I am going to get my act together with a computer properly and register by the end of the week. Promise :wink: .

Thumbs up!

Hi,

just signed up. Will it be possible to borrow a plastic longsword for the tournament? I'll pay in fine whiskey as per last year to those generous enough to lend me their weapons for my bouts....

Cheers! Hic...
