Thank you AJ!
Liam hasn’t stopped talking about “winning” the fight against the knight at his school fair yet! (Sunnynook school). I just wish I could have been there. It wasn’t till I saw the pics that I realised I knew the knight. I should have guessed it’d be one of my nutter friends tho’ right? :mrgreen:
Seriously, you and the ride in the police car with the sirens on were the highlights of his week.
Awesome … cool idea. Maybe this would be a good way to get some NZLARPs visibility? Advertise with schools that we could be involved with school fairs doing things like this?
Spoken like someone who has never experienced the viciousness that is armed children 
nzLARPS did this down at the Taupo Medieval Festival in 2009. We called it “Knight School” and children learned how to make swords from newspapers and learned how to fight and then they went through this maze of white fabric and fought the monsters within it (i.e. us poor larpers with masks, down on our knees so we were eye level with the kids) and got to the end to fight the biggest evil monster to rescue the Princess, then each successful rescuer was knighted by the King.
They had barrells of fun.
The bruises took weeks to fade.
You’d have to go through Auckland Sword and Shield, if you’re talking about piggy-backing on these sorts of events, as it’s part of the re-enactment scene rather than the LARP scene and several of the club members aren’t involved in LARP. But I like your thinking.
