Quote:Ok Paul I hear what you are saying, but I have spent a good deal of my own time, unpaid teaching 7-11 year olds (and some grown ups - mind you they behave like 7-11 year olds when they see pointy things!!!) and have strived to get my kit as accurate as I can with limited funds. These guys have huge budgets and period experts to consult. If we can do it then surely these guys can!!
It makes for a better film, series, whatever and gives those not so anally retentive as us re enactors, a real idea of what things were like - you use excalibur - great yarn but about 600 years too late.
Not doing Archaic so NO VAMBRACES!!! see you in June??
Okay, okay! We heard you the first time! :lol: I look forward to seeing you in June. It's a shame you're not doing archaic, though...We have people wanting to do Classical and a few on Hellenistic, but no-one on the early turn. Pity Dan can't come over in his Mycenaean kit - that would get him a place in the chariot!
Please don't teach unpaid, you deserve a proper reward and the schools (all their protestations to the contrary) can afford to pay you.
