The lineup will feature some of the folks from last year, as well as a lot of new faces, some old in the game, some new, and some old but not perhaps that known in the larger HEMA community, we want o bring new talents into the spotlight. We will host Swordfish in the same place as last year, meaning a huge sports center all for ourselves with sleeping halls, several large halls for practice and sparring, showers (duh), sauna, 24/7 reception, lectures halls, a HEMA shop both with Nidingbane (
www.nidingbane.se) and in the reception (where hopefully we will be able to sell protective equpiment and the aluminium and nylon wasters made by Pentti Kangasmaa) as well as t-shirts,books and DvD's, a bowling hall even and of course Club Local!
As last year, we are also aiming to give the event a profile of high intensity and provide a real physical challenge, well we want you to sweat and get real tired and spar a ot and have a damn good time! We will have coached sparring on the schedule, and this year definitely an open hall for sparring and interpretation comparison.
Hope to see you there, more info to follow!
