[Artemisia] Youth Combat, regarding Nerf N-Force Swords

[morgan wolf]

Actually Your Excellency,  I'm pretty sure he means don't bring them to events at all, so that there is no confusion, just as we don't allow children to "play" with the boffer swords used for Youth Combat off of the field.

Consider, please, the reasoning of an 8-year old:  I have a foam sword, Youth Combat uses foam swords, I should be able to use my foam sword for Youth Combat, right?

We can all agree that kids shouldn't bring Nerf guns to an event, why not just expand that to "no Nerf(tm) weapons at events".

So tell David and Tony to leave their new toys at home!  ;-)

My lord 

You did intend to say ,l not to bring these swords to the fighting field or they will be confiscated.  Is that correct ?

THESE SWORDS MAY NOT BE USED FOR YOUTH COMBAT ACTIVITIES AT SCA FUNCTIONS!

 

Do not bring them to SCA events, whether kingdom or local. If children are wielding these swords at SCA events, they WILL be confiscated (the swords, not the children. Sorry). They will be retrievable, by parents only, at the end of the event, from the highest authority in attendance.

 

If you have any questions, please contact me.
