Hi. My name is Cat and I’d like to tell you about my new hobby. I joined the Medieval Society at my university. As you can see, we learn to use medieval weapons and we basically fight each other. That’s me on the right, by the way. I’m fighting one of my friends. We also have arts and crafts sessions. The members of the society actually make all of the weapons and shields themselves. It’s only my second time so I haven’t learned that much yet, but it’s a lot of fun. The weapons and shields are made of wood, so it’s not that dangerous. In terms of weapons, we have swords, daggers, axes and clubs. The people that have more experience sometimes use metal weapons. We might get bows and arrows sometime so I hope I can try that as well. As you can see, it was a bit cloudy and rainy and very windy, but we run around a lot so it doesn’t get too cold. We also have rules so nobody gets hurt too badly. For example, you aren’t allowed to hit anyone in the face or head. Only hits to the chest back, and upper and lower legs count as a hit. You also can’t have two weapons or two shields. Every summer, the society performs at events, where they re-enact historic battles. A lot of people come to watch and it looks very exciting. Maybe I can take part in one someday.
