I'll be hanging around the Hilton until 5, then I have to go change and get my kit bag.
I'm in a Black three quarter coat, have a grey backpack on, and fingerless green gloves

There's Brunswick Square Gardens down the road, or the beachfront I guess. Thing is, swinging even training swords in public will definitely draw an audience. I'd prefer a foyer if there's one suitable.

What venue?

This is extraordinary. Been a while since I got the Fighting Fantasy shivers!

Where are we at on organising this? Thinking about timings with Con panels and walking distance etc.

Don't worry Rick you can throw me in between panels :) . I'll get to the next one faster that way!

Can't promise I'll be much good. Very rusty with on and off HEMA training makes for some stiff swordwork. But happy to attend to get some practice in!
What kind of equipment (protection + trainer/blunt) do you use?
I've only some basic Knight Shop kit. Happy to use a spare weapon if preferred.
