MAP Meet 2017

Don't shake hands with Smurf.

He looks friendly, it's a trick.

 

Latikos has been ambushed by my daughter. They are now dressing a teddy bear in Spartan armour

Well car is all packed with training gear, some giveaways and raffle prizes.

Clothing is sorted and all that is left is a good night's sleep, an early rise for a shave and haircut and a trip to the train station to pick someone up.

Their train is due to arrive at 09.00 and it's a 15 minute drive to the venue.

I should be there just before 09.30.

For everyone else look to arrive at 10.00 to say hello, get changed and loosen yourself off.

 

I thought you only had eyes for Steve Brinkman.

 

Aegis has saved the day.

He has spent all afternoon sorting out weapons and will be holding a HEMA session n place of the Japanese sword sessions.

Full details tomorrow.

 

Excellent!

Not a great start.

caught a blood blister while towelling off.

Blood everywhere. Already patched up and the day hasn't even started.

 

Great MAP Meet!!

I really enjoyed the sessions, I learnt a lot and the folks from our club had an amazing time too

Thanks so much to everyone who organised it and ran the sessions

Sorry I had to shoot off - we had to get Oli back as his pregnant wife went into hospital - luckily that's all worked out OK - phew!

Just supping a well deserved beer to take the edge off the aching muscles

See you all next year I hope

 

Another great year guys, thanks to everyone who organised and attended!

 

Superb day.

Tired out and my feet are killing me.

Tomorrow I'll make a start on the pictures and video.

I'll also post the final amounts raised.

 

You all helped raise £715.00 for Bloodwise.

The raffle and late donations made £300 for Cancer Research.

Over £1000 for charity.

Thank you so much.

Smurf, out of retirement, back on the mats and generally being awesome, a word I have used so much today, but with good reason.

Just brilliant everyone, thank you so much
