Rapier

  *
We have been continuing to have a good turn out.  Everyone is behaving, but paperwork was generated with a blade break, dutifully reported to the regional deputy and the Kingdom deputy.  There were no injuries.  Per the guys that work metal there appeared to be a flaw.  According to long time sword people the blade that broke was of an age and from a supplier that had had issues with inconsistencies in the metal.
  *
Boreaus hosted a small tourney on Dec 22.  It was well attended and we all had fun.  I think Master Godfrey won.  There were prizes for chivalry and the most fun fight.

Eventual request is a purchase of a dagger for the loaner gear.
