The Class will be administered at the Saturday Serra park Classes as an introduction to the Battle Re-enactment Rehearsal, and at Highlander Household Notes at 8 am the morning of every Faire. A special favor will be provided, which must be worn to show attendance before participation will be allowed in the Battle Re-enactment. YOU may consider yourself an accomplished stage sword or spear fighter. However, the guy or girl standing next to you may have never held a sword before in their lives. The standards of safety in these instructions will go a long way towards a great show AND safety.
ANY weapon is a responsibility.
The use of weapons is a priviledge granted by Her Majesty, and can be immediately and irrevocably yanked if this privilege is abused. Anyone in the guild has permission to move your weapon to a place of safety if it poses a danger to others where you have left it, and to report the fact to a Cheiftain, the Marshall of the Field, or a Royal Star Chamber member. Be conscious of its presence at all times, even if not on your person. There are racks for polearms. Weapon not sheathed and peace tied.
