I'd like to extend an invitation to all forumites in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky to come to an Albion Round Table get-together. Anyone else willing to make the drive is welcome, also. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
What is a Round Table? This party/meeting is a chance for people to examine and handle Albion Mark Next Generation swords. It's also part of a new program by Albion Armorers designed to get swords into people's hands.
Why am I hosting a Round Table? To be honest, I wasn't too sure about the concept when I first heard about it. But after having the chance to play with everything on Albion's table at the Bladeshow (and thoroughly bother Eric, Mike and Harlan ), I realized that Albion's website and pictures (both fantastic) only give you a partial experience. Picking the swords up, examining them up close, and feeling how the swords handle gave me a wholly different impression. These are swords that blow away all the production swords I've ever owned or handled, and rival (and best) some custom swords as well. I think it'd be fun to see people experience these swords the way I was able to.
Who and what will be there? Well, me and some snacks for starters, and hopefully some of you folks as well. My Next Gen Baron and Sovereign will be there, as well as several swords that Albion will graciously send us to play with, er, examine. Some other folks who are attending have graciously offered to bring their Albion swords as well. We'll also have some brochures that help explain the design and production of these weapons and hopefully an Albion-made video about how they make their swords (it's in production now, and I'm not certain it will be ready by the time of the Roundtable). There will also be some pool noodles available for test-cutting.
When is it and where do I get more info? I'm targeting the afternoon of Saturday, July 31st at my Cincinnati home. To get more info or to let me know you'll be here, please email me at [email]Chad@myArmoury.com.[/email]
Hope to see you folks!
