Hi,
I'm back from Pennsic.  We had a meeting and talked about a number of the 
issues, such as insurance, incorporation, memberships.  There were a number 
of members in attendance with a good showing from the Canadians.  (yay!)

So the biggest news is that Martin Field will be the new membership 
officer.  After talking about the sorts of problems we have encountered 
getting money to the UK membership secretary, we learned that the Canadians 
can get pounds sterling much more easily and economically than those of us 
in the US can.  So it was a logical choice.  Besides he was the only one 
out of the room when we had the vote!  (Well, no that's not true, he 
actually volunteered)

I'm sure there is other Regia news that I've forgotten, but I'm sure others 
will weigh in soon enough.  I'll post Martin's contact information on the 
site, etc, when I get it from him.

Besides that, I set up shop at Pennsic and sort of introduced my new 
business (as if I didn't have enough to do!).  I've set up shop to sell 
authentic medieval stuff.  Right now I'm concentrating on 700-1100.  You 
can find out more at: http://www.impedimenta.com/
Well, you can't find out much more at the moment, I only just got home, but 
I'll have the catalog up soon.  Although I sold out of most of my stuff at 
Pennsic (yay!)

Take Care,
Tom
