Jean, if you didn't go and win that contest, you'd have some crazy custom title right now below your name. If you want that back, I'll gladly take your winning prize for my own collection to make it work. Just trying to be helpful.

Did somebody say gratuitous and post in the same sentence?

There is always P.M. and e-mail. Wink Happy Cool

I also post comments on your posts here if I have anything useful to say ( And sometimes I post anyway if I don't Wink Razz ).

Yeah, I still have the NYHFA site bookmarked and the last time I posted the post didn't " take " as it just wasn't there when I checked later for the futile hoped for reply ...... Cry Sad By the way it was probably a comment about how dead the NYHFA Forum seemed to be. WTF?!

Appreciate the though Michael Idulsun .... Idolson ..... Edselwhatever

Oh, and my training group disbanded leaving me to my own devices looking for training partners ..... Cry Sad

( Although I did get to train with Craig Shackleton in Ottawa last Sunday which as fun, I assume you read my post son it. Wink ).

Nothing dramatic except recruiting new members sort of fizzled out and our director was tired of administrating the whole thing after 10 years of doing it. The rental costs of our training salle was probably too much also when the active membership fell under half a dozen.

Constant promotion and p.r. to recruit new members can be a full time job and I can understand that Patrick found it wearying in addition to having classes 4 days a week when things where running smoothly.

Personal issues like moving to a new house and family where also involved but are private matters I shouldn't get into: Nothing special just life and burnout getting in the way.

I'm in contact with a few of my fellow students and with our instructors and in theory we can train in a local Park but with early Sunset and the cold Winter any training will probably be mostly in the Spring or at best early on weekends if the weather cooperates and there is not too much snow to move ...... snowshoe swordsmanship would be bizarre Wink Razz Laughing Out Loud

So as you can imagine I'm not very happy about the situation. Sad

This is sort of off-Topic but since this isn't much of a real Topic a little detour into stuff that is making me sad is sort of O.K. Wink Laughing Out Loud
