rukovsoft, Try Acorn Lodge (www.acornlodge.co.uk). Last time I stayed there they had family rooms, and if they dont there are a pile of other associated with them that may. They also know how to cope with fencing bags.

thanks for your help.
I found a link:
http://www.hostelworld.com/

i found interesting prices there for those who haven t found a b&b there yet.
for 5 night i pay like 110$...all of the team will be in the same room.

I look forward to meeting you guys in Edimburgh. Any plans to meet on friday at weapon controls or after the competition?

Hi Rukovsoft,

There are no firm plans yet for anything on the Friday. There are a few people I know staying with friends so I'll ask around and see if we can get something organised.

Cherry blossoms are blooming in Vancouver...
So are many of the other flowers.

i'll be in edinburgh for it!

can't wait!

Nice one Downunder. Drop me a PM, if you are in Edinburgh on the Friday.

There seems to be a growing demand for a night out on the Friday - mostly us blokes who have to fence on the Sunday at silly o'clock so won't be out very late. - so if you are going to be there let me know.

Hi there,

see you on friday.

Yes, you will be able to check in your weapons on the Sunday. You could also do that on the Satuday if you were feeling particularly efficient.

[downunder]

will it be a full weapon control, i.e. flexibility etc, or just a visual check for fie markings?

[Gav]

Good Question.

Don't know. I'll be finding out at the weapon test myself. If I can get an answer I'll let you know.

It depends upon the competition organizers. The last time I was in Copenhagen, they checked flexibility; the last time in Germany, they tested flexibilty and shims.

It was flexibility, length, guard size, wiring and shims. Masks were checked over as well.

can I just say as well that it was a pleasure to meet up with Rukovsoft, Zilversmurfen and Downunder. The Ceilidh was a blast and was a major factor in my poor performance on the day. Some really good fencers turned up for ME.
