[Regia-NA] Event announcement

[guthroth]

Greetings

Although it is not a Regia event,  I would like to extend an invitation to
the readers of this list to an open Viking-age event which is being held
early next year.

In January 2004 (Martin Luther King holiday weekend) a re-enactment Althing
is being held at Savernake near San Antonio Tx, http://www.savernake.org

In conjunction with the event, which is being hosted by the Helluland
Vikings, 2 qualified UK Training Officers (again, not Regia officers) are
coming over to continue the steel training program which was begun last June
in Kansas City.

This time the steel combat training is being combined with an Althing-style
meeting to which all US and Canadian Viking-age, steel combat, authentic
re-enactment groups are invited to meet, discuss and get to know each other
so that a greater bond of friendship might develop between them.

In addition, any existing steel weapon qualifiers or qualified fighters who
are able to come down to meet us would be more than welcome, and we would
especially welcome
the chance to exchange ideas and see how fighting styles differ on a
face-to-face basis.

There is a website here http://www.thealthing.org/

Since this is not a Regia event, if you wish, you can email me off-list at
guthroth@btinternet.com for more information.
