Hey all, we're going to take a week off this Saturday and pickup the
renos again next Saturday.  Just better for everyone's schedule.  A
weekend off will do us good.  Hope to see many of you out to help out
some more as the space progresses.  Thanks all.

Thanks Devon, but I must pass the thanks on to Greg who actually came
up with the design in the throes of Adam, Maureen and I trying to be
"arty". I just finished off the engineering.

I do have a request to anyone who does any sort of woodworking: if you
have a 1/2" wood bit that would be suitable for boring holes (LOTS of
them) into oak AND you feel like letting us borrow it (and, err,
perhaps mutilate it), please let me know. I am planning on buying a
better one than I had but I'm a-thinking we might need a few....

Thanks all!
Jason

This past Saturday with the help of Adam, Anna, Jason, Michael, and
Todd we were able to complete phase 1 of erecting new wall hangers for
swords and masks. (thanks guys! Jason thanks for all your help with
designing and setting up the racks).  You will see the first stage of
the assemblies if you're out at class early this week.  Please do not
put any weight on them yet (there is no where to hang your swords yet,
they'll make more sense soon).

When completed each rack will vertically support a fair number of
swords and masks and of course add to the beauty of our school.  This
week we'll be gradually completing these racks.

Continuing with our weekly renovations, next Saturday after class we
will again be continuing to renovate.  If you would like to help make
Academie Duello a greater and more beautiful place, come on out and
give us a hand.

Next weekend's projects:
- Stage 1 of member's lounge renovations
- Completion of sword racks
- Creating shields and other items to augment the walls
- Stage 1 preparations for chandeliers

There is much pizza and swordfighting to be had for our helpers, come
out and join us.

Devon

From what I understand, rapier fighting, heavy fighting and dance will be
alternating every half hour.

cheerio,
Sina

Our day to battle against Cancer is almost here. Won't you please help us
and enjoy some fun with friends at the same time.

In honour of Baron Gerhard Kendal's memory, we have a team to participate in
"Relay for Life". Rather than walk we will be doing our wonderful, amazing,

Coquitlam, BC on Saturday June 2, 2007. The demo will be held at the
Coquitlam Town Centre Stadium, (now known as Percy Perry Stadium)

The Relay for Life is a community celebration where individuals raise funds

Hello all, a few people have been asking me what my teaching schedule
is going to be in the next week.  This week, due to an obligation I
had forgotten about on Monday, I will be teaching Tuesday and Thursday
night.  Following that I will be teaching on Mondays and Tuesdays (and
Wednesdays at lunch).

Devon

Ok I know I probably spelled her name wrong (i've seen four variations
so far and I forget what hers is) so I appologize but if anyone sees
her can they pass something on for me pleeeease:

I want to know if its possible for my may payment to be bumped a month
cause I haven't been able to come at all this month and i'm a little
short on expenses atm due to missing work from being in and out of the
hospital...which is also why i haven't been able to go to fencing all
month...

if she can't that's ok...just had to ask...i'm stuck waiting for a
bunch of tests and a colonoscopy now and in a lot of pain so can't
really do much that may increase the bleeding ;)  i may try more next
month but this one just wasn't working....bah....

anyway thanks to whomever can pass that on to her for me...unless she
sees this herself...who knows...

thanks,

Alison

Someone forgot their keys at Academie Duello last night.  They were
left on the windowsill at the far end of the hall.  The keychain has
an orange bottle opener, two small lock/cabinet keys, 3 standard keys
and a few other little knick knacks.  Let me know if they're yours.
They'll  be in the file box at the studio.

Also currently in the filebox is a wearable usb mp3 player.  Silver
with buds.  Let me know if this belongs to you.  It was found no the
coffee table a few days ago.

Devon

Renovations continue... This weekend we're building sword and mask
hangars for the walls and we need hands to help with assembly and
mounting.  If you're available after class on Saturday for the
afternoon to early evening let me know.

Devon

Sad news about the pirates demo.  We were not able to get it setup
with Paramount, their recent shift in management has caused them to
cut down on additional activities right now.  They invited us to come
out and demo for future sword fighting movies they're keeping this
opening low key. :(

Thanks everyone for being available.  We attempted to setup demos at
several places but did not have luck this time round.  There will be
many more great demo opportunities coming up over the next few months.
  Stay tuned.

Devon

Damn I had fun, thanks again.

Next time though, more quarterstaff!! Any call for a Friar Tuck at any
of the Academie's demos....?

Hey Devon, I would love to be part of the thursday midnight group, I'm
closing that night (meaning off around 10:30)... I just wanted to make
sure you didn't want people there really early so I had time to go
home and dress up.
As a side note, do you or anyone else know where I can get some good
period-looking shoes or more importantly, boots?  Its pretty much all
that's missing from my outfit. Thanks!

Sorry about the previous attempt not working.  I have put the pics
together on flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/8404849@N03/sets/72157600238061498/

I might be into that...

Forward any more details to me.  Will it get us a fee pass to the screening?

Hello all,
    We're working on setting up a few demos for Pirates 3 this week.
Paramount theatre is very interested in having us and are confirming
it with their General Manager we should know if we're on hopefully by
tomorrow or early Tuesday.  If we do the demo there it would probably
be the Thursday midnight opening.

We also have an opportunity to do Metrotown as well, for Thursday or Friday.

Who all is interested in potentially doing a demo at either of these
openings?  Costumes would be required (your own or acquired).  Let me
know right away when you'd be available.

Thanks!
Devon

Tomorrow is Victoria day, so no classes...except!

We are having the Empire Days Workshop from 10-6 (or 4, we'll see...)

What better way to celebrate Queen Victoria's holiday than by studying
the martial arts of Victorian England.

It's a great chance to come and learn all that fun sabre stuff that
some of us are playing with!
