Rapier Report
August 2004
Author:             Vincent the Chased
Seagirt Branch Rapier Marshal and Master of Blades
Prepared Sep 6, 2004

Practices
- Average attendance approximately 3 on Thursdays, 5 on Sundays.
- Harris Green Park on Pandora at Cook or u/g at 1022 Pandora (bad weather) is the site for Thursday 6pm practices. Drill Shed at NADEN is the site for Sunday noon practices.
- Collected $17.67

Events
- Seagirt Summer Tourney Aug 14 – 5 fighters participated in a Bear Pit Tourney. Vulfgar was the tourney winner, but as he also won the heavy and archery tourneys he declined the title of champion, which fell to Surtr.
- 2 Hartwood fighters attended a Sunday practice – we hope to reestablish our combined practices on a regular basis.
- Feast or Famine War Aug 21 – MiC’d by Surtr. However, the enemy neglected to bring rapier fighters so the rapier portion of the war did not occur.

Equipment Issues
- Iron Key currently consists of 5 masks, 4 gorgets, 1 fibreglass rapier, 3 fibreglass daggers, 1 pretty blue suit of armour, 1 hood, 1 armour drop tester, 1 buckler, one metal rapier simulator, 1 12kg mask tester, 1 pair of gloves, and two 500W worklights.

Experiments
- Current Experiment: Using a silicone bonding agent in place of hot glue for construction of fiberglass swords. Construction of daggers and one sword complete. So far, daggers and sword have performed fine for months, while repetitive stress testing is underway.
- One sword has now been manufactured and thoroughly tested in controlled conditions.
