The AES has it’s first hosted tournament of 2018 at our Rimbey chapter on June 23 at Rimbey Community Centre, starting at 10:00 am. This is Rimbey’s third tournament, and will include three events: steel longsword, steel sword & buckler, and synthetic Dane Axe. This is one of the tournaments that count towards the Prairies Historical Fencing League’s annual championship. Last year the PHFL champion got a beautiful trophy Fedeschwert courtesy of SGT Blades Inc. We’re not sure what the prize will be this year.
As well, our Rimbey chapter offers some really nice prizes for their winners. The 2016 tournament champion, Johanus Haidner, won a beautiful knife, donated by Justin Skjonsberg. [insert picture here] The tournament fee is merely $60 and includes lunch!
June 24 there will be a sword & buckler workshop taught by AES Head Instructor Johanus Haidner. This will be a full day workshop, with a lunch break (lunch not provided). To attend the workshop there is an additional fee of $25.
Registration for tournament and/or workshop is here.
