Prepared Jan 10, 2005

Practices
- Average attendance approximately 3 on Thursdays, 4 on Sundays.
- Official practice times and locations have changed a few times over the past few months but have settled to noon Sundays and 6 pm Thursdays at the Naden naval base for the foreseeable future.

Events

Equipment Issues
- Iron Key currently consists of 5 masks, 4 gorgets, 6 fibreglass rapiers, 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 four swords complete. So far, daggers have performed fine for nigh upon two years and the first rapier has been well used for a year and a half without incident. Repetetive stress testing has been completed, and a report has been sent on the progress by my predecessor (Vincent the Chased).
