<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Friends,<br>
<br>
Graciously the Autocrat and the RMIC for Coronation have agreed to lets us do
Cut and Thrust pick ups at coronation. <br>
<br>
While the tourney is a melee tourney, we can still C&T either after or
depending on room nearby.<br>
<br>
Remember SCA minimum armor standards for C&T are in effect. So you must
have standard rapier armor with the back of your head protected, your elbows
protected and should you be fighting without a basket hilt hard hands. <br>
<br>
I will be bringing much of my loaner stuff. <br>
<br>
Now, it has been brought to my attention that some folks are concerned about
the level of force in the strikes.<br>
<br>
Friends, we are Atlantians. We play by the rules. We insure the safety of our
friends who are playing with us. So expect a level of hit consistent with a
good blow and if it comes hard it is an accident. <br>
<br>
For example I wear a 15th century Jack Coat of Plates, hard shoulders, elbows
and knees. Not necessary but it looks good. I enjoy the feeling of fighting
with steel in armor. I am not armoring up to take a heavier blow. I am wearing
the armor because it is the creative in the anachronism.<br>
<br>
So come and give it a try its fun. I will try to put together a couple of
leather skull caps by then. However a leather skull cap made to fit over your
mask and some close cell foam meets the SCA minimum. I am looking at the coif
pattern, however Arts and Sciences are not my strong point. If any of you
leather woring folks have an idea please let me know.<br>
<br>
Yours in Service<br>
Giacomo<o:p></o:p></p>
