One of the goals for the this event is to foster international cooperation and exchange of ideas and research relating to the practice of the art of Smallsword. To help facilitate that end I have committed to paying the admission fee for one individual to attend the original Smallsword Symposium in Edinburgh this October. You are on your own for airfare, food and lodging but admission to the event will be on me and the Am SS. (BTW there are some very cheap flights to EDI being advertised on WOW and Norwegian Air) Nothing compares to a weekend in Scotland in the fall with the company of fellow Smallsword enthusiasts.
To be eligible the individual must attend the American Smallsword Symposium where applications will be handed out. Interested parties will write a short essay, topic to be determined. Best essay wins. However preference will be given to persons who have never been to the Edinburgh event. I will make a similar offer to attendees of the Edinburgh event when I am there to attend the American Smallsword Symposium at no charge.
Yet another reason to come to the event!
Hope to see you all June 9-11 in Baltimore!
