I plan on being there and highly recommend it to any who can make it. Every year I have been has been very educational, alot of fun and a good meal. Not to mention you get to spend the day at the largest antique arms show on the east coast.

I think we burnt the midnight oil that evening but it was lots of fun! Looking forward to seeing you again along with everyone else. I believe this is year 5 or 6 and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. |

In the first year, which was held in a seafood restaurant where you had to speak loudly above the sound of crunching crab legs, additional speakers were Jimmy Manteris with some nice examples of Fijian clubs and John Powell with an early Kukri with gold inlaid mark.

I would love to come, but alas once again I am in a financial situation with a new job and cannot afford to go.
 I hope to come next year (when things will be more settled?  ).
