Bring warm clothes, as we will be outside for an extended time. If you do not have a cape, bring a nice blanket or a big towel. Bring your fencing gear if you wish to fence. A pumpkin would be nice as well. Beers and wine are also welcome, but any drinking will have to happen after the fencing, lest we lose our heads.

Camping with the Club
We went to Lejre Forest for a spot of camping and fencing class among the trees. Next to raspberry bushes the size of a fat cow we grilled, fenced and defeated the invading ratmen in a turbo game of Knave DnD.
Falster Medieval Center
We heard they had a working trebuchet at Falster Medieval Center. So we went.
They have built an entire village as it would have been in the 1400s. No museum nonsense, no signs, no guards, no stupid glowing green exit signs. Just houses and medieval technology.
It was fantastic. You can go into every house and shop and examine all the objects with your own hands.
They also gave a demonstration of their range of cannons, and of course the trebuchet.
Københavns Historiske Marked
We showcased various ways of fighting with historical weapons during Københavns Historiske Marked. It was a fantastic event with not only fencing but tons of artists, and blacksmiths, hawking their wares, enthusiastic mead sellers, jousting shows, re-enactment battles of knights in full plate armour.
Public tents were full of medieval bands playing on old instruments and in the evening time every change of wind brought the scent of a new smoldering fire.
XIXth Dijon HEMA Gathering
Big gathering of HEMA of all sorts in Dijon, France.
There will be tons of workshops with top notch instructors from all over the world.
