Sorry if I appear ignorant, but basically what is this event about?
From the name I would assume it consists mainly of...people fighting?

"FightCamp is a 3 day event providing classes, competitions, trading and the opportunity for free exchange of European martial arts and related subjects. Classes cover subjects such as medieval knightly combat, using weapons like longswords, daggers and pollaxes, through to renaissance rapier duelling, Baroque smallsword techniques, Georgian pugilism, Victorian bayonet practice and wrestling, and even modern self-protection classes."
"FightCamp has been running since 2004 and has consistently grown each year, attracting over 20 instructors and 170 students in 2009 from several countries, including France, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. Fightcamp 2010 has 25 instructors from across Europe and the USA and 4 tournaments."
"There are four official competitions held at FightCamp:
* The Pas d'Armes (cumulative scores from the Sparring Arena over the weekend)
* The Smallsword and Rapier Tournament
* The Assault at Arms (basket-hilted singlestick)
* The Eggleton Cup Tournament (longsword, messer, sword and buckler, two swords, sword alone) "
