[Ponte Alto] Fwd: [atlantianrapiernet] Guards for Atlantian Royal at Pennsic

[Belphoebe]

Greetings!

Please find below the message from Lord Christopher
Cunning, regarding the request of Their Hignesses for
guards at Atlantian Royal during Pennsic.  

Although the message highlights rapier fighters, you
do not need to be a rapier combatant (or any kind of
fighter for that matter) to volunteer for this task. 
(In the past, we have had folks with all sorts of
amusing weapons such as frying pans doing guard duty.)

At the Barony business meeting last Saturday, it was
suggested that Ponte Alto take Thursday evening for
this.  If you are interested, please contact Lord
Geoffrey ap Clwyd.  His contact info is on the Ponte
Alto webpage, as he is our Rapier Marshal.

Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

Yours in Service,

Belphoebe
