Registration

Phase I of the registration to the 2008 International Historical European Martial Arts Gathering is now closed. Phase II has begun since March, 28th, 2008.

Phase II means that you can still attend the event, even if you haven't registered before the aforemetionned date. We will only ask you a fee of 20 euros per day. However, being a Phase II delegate mans that you will have a limited acess to several features of the event, as described below - so please read carefully the information below. We also urge you to get in touch with us, on the coordinates indicated on the registration form, as soon as possible.

Warning on safety and required equipment :

Delegates must ensure they possess the necessary equipment to take part in the many proposed events :

- Clothing and sport shoes adapted to indoor and outdoor use (one pair for each use).

- Wood or metal training weapons (no sharp weapon or decoration weapon; only weapons of the same type shall be used by training partners – ie metal vs. metal, wood vs. wood) adapted to the workshops (dagger, short sword, long sword, etc..).

- Protective gear are obviously highly recommended (fencing mask, groin guard, gloves, etc..).

The hosts will not provide any training weapon or protective equipment.

All unsafe or uncautious behaviour will immediatly result in the exclusion of the perpetrator from the entire event and bonus activities – without refund.

All Instructors will be entitled to judge of such behaviours and take the necessary sanctions.

Important : Several workshops will be aimed at advanced HEMA practitionners. Instructors will have the possibility to exclude from their workshops people not showing the required level of advancement and understanding of HEMA, without any possible protest.

Information on the fee :

Since the end of Registration Phase I on March 208th, 2008, the fee has dropped to 20 euros per day of attendance. However, this also means limited options, and an important change regarding accomodation (see below). As said above, Phase II delegates might not benefit from all features of the event (for instance registration to the tournament, or Saturday night dinner, or welcome packs - as this will apply on an irregular basis, we urge you to contact us ASAP if you still intend to attend the event) 

Accomodation :

Like every year, we will try to provide the greater number free accomodation in Dijon. However, the amount of people who will benefit of this offer depends on many uncontrolled factors. Nevertheless, we shall try to accomodate as many people as possible, priority being given to those registering early, and to those financially in need. For the 2008 event, this number has been only reserved to people registering before March 25th 2008. Which means, if you are a Phase II delegate, that accomodation is not included in the fee : you will have to find - and pay for - accomodation on your own. However, we are glad to help you in that regard.

ALL AFOREMENTIONED INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGES.
