	How many of us are there? Do we know? Nick. Sent from my iPhone...

	I would book a room in a pub. Here's one that is a short walk from the venue and is not far from Tower Bridge (the bridge from the first Shelock Holmes movie-...

	Her's one to try for Friday. (no food on Sat) The Horseshoe Inn: <http://www.brakspear.co.uk/our_pubs/pub_page/109/horseshoe> The Horseshoe Inn 26 Melior...

	The Salisbury's back bar is available for booking for groups of up to 20. The slight difficulty is that we don't actually know how many people will be in our...

	Hi Tim, thanks for that. We already have an after-hours venue for Saturday and Sunday nights - the Sherlock Holmes pub/restaurant in Westminster. The current...

	Funnily enough, the Horseshoe Inn was our original venue of choice for the Friday night meeting, but local knowledge suggests that it's a local hang-out for...

	Hi Tony, cant you just email everyone now to see if they are going to come on Friday night for food? I know that others may still book as its still 4 weeks...
13936		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 1, 2011 7:45 pm
	Hi Pete, with four weeks left for people to book for the event, we currently have about 14 confirmed School of Arms participants; the maximum the participant...

	Hi all, I know that we have some London-based members on this list whose interest in Bartitsu is mostly academic rather than practical, and I should clarify...

	Hi all, if anyone else wishes to teach a class at the School of Arms, please contact me ASAP at tonywolf@... . Thanks, Tony...

	Tony mentioned athletic cummerbunds as part of 19th century-styled training attire in a previous post. I've been looking around for something that would be...
13940		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 3, 2011 3:03 am
	That's easily the closest modern design I've seen to historical "athletic cummerbunds". Looks pretty gender-neutral to me ... Well-spotted, Rachel! Tony...

	Peter, Please drop me a note off list if you are still looking for someone to share a room for the London conference. Allen...
13942		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 3, 2011 9:13 pm
	Oh, I'm glad you approve, Tony, because you know so much about historical athletic attire that if it looks suitable to you, then it should be convincing enough...
13943		James Marwood jmarwood1	Aug 3, 2011 9:18 pm
	My other half is a seamstress, and she thinks she should be able to come up with something suitable over the next week or so. Cheers, James...
13944		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 3, 2011 9:36 pm
	Silk, eh? That would explain the price. That design in heavyweight cotton would be ideal. Tony...
13945		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 3, 2011 9:38 pm
	Well, I'd buy one of those in black or navy blue heavyweight cotton ... Tony...
13946		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 3, 2011 9:42 pm
	Oh, I'd love to see a photo when she's finished! There's something distinctly Victorian about wearing a belt or sash sewn by a special lady :)...
13947		James Marwood jmarwood1	Aug 3, 2011 9:44 pm
	Indeed :) I'll post updates as I get them. I have my eye on some fairly robust curtain fabric in a store near me....
13948		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 3, 2011 9:57 pm
	Bengaline silk is actually interwoven with cotton, giving a silk-like appearance at a lesser cost. In fact Bengaline silk is mostly cotton with a lesser...

	Having to dry-clean it would be a bit of a pain, too. For my purposes, true historical accuracy is less important than something generally evocative of c1900...
13950		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 4, 2011 5:20 pm
	Hm, yes, I forgot about having to clean it - it would surely get sweaty with diligent practice. If there was something of this exact size and shape, but made...
13951		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 4, 2011 5:40 pm
	This article about Edwardian sportswomen http://edwardianpromenade.com/women/the-edwardian-sportswoman/ mentions a 19th century magazine called The Ladies...
13952		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 4, 2011 6:54 pm
	It might have been an offshoot of "The Field" magazine, which IIRC was originally specific to hunting but by c1900 had extended its' interests to a wide range...

	Hi all, thanks to James for booking the back bar of the Salisbury - http://www.pubs.com/main_site/pub_details.php?pub_id=206 - for our pre-School of Arms...

	I'll be sending my number the week before hand for anyone who needs to find the warehouse and I may make an appearance at the restaurant, but, I won't be...
13955		Rachel rkxyz	Aug 4, 2011 8:37 pm
	Thanks, Tony, that sounds likely. I guess I'll have to make a trip to the research library to see if they have any copies or any other information about it. I...
13956		Tony Wolf lone_wolf_92001	Aug 4, 2011 9:31 pm
	Hi Rachel, offhand I can't remember any Bartitsu-related references from "The Field". "Health and Strength" magazine covered a lot of antagonistics material,...
13957		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 4, 2011 10:05 pm
	Thanks, Damien. We'll also have basic maps etc. in the participant info. pack. Tony...
13958		lone_wolf_92001	Aug 4, 2011 11:54 pm
	If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to organise a pre-dinner meeting in Shaftesbury Ave. around 6.30 pm on Friday. The building that housed the original...
