So I'd just like to acknowledge all of the hard work from a huge range of people that made Swordplay 2023 such a success!
Firstly, the fighters: competitors from all the local clubs including BSIS, Vanguard, Collegium in Armis, Sword fighter, Prima Spada, Invicta and Spada di Bolognese, as well as from clubs further afield like Fitzroy River College of Arms, Scholar Victoria and Adelaide Sword Academy battled it out over 3 huge open tournaments and 2 smaller competitions. I saw some fantastic fighting, but more importantly comradery and honour was displayed by all across the board!
To the Scorers and Refs: you guys and gals make this happen. The event went as smoothly as it did, with the fighters able to enjoy themselves and concentrate on fighting only because you people cared enough for this fantastic community and gave up your time and talent to make it happen. Thank you so much!
Thank you to the sponsors of the event: Tim Harris, Mark Holgate and Savage Armoury for providing such great prizes which will be making their way to their new owners ASAP.
And finally, thank you to the reps from the STAB organisation. I am truly proud of the community and cooperative spirit that you guys and gals have displayed in making this thing happen the way the community wants it to. I have no doubt that this cooperative organisation will continue to move forward positively together and to continue to deliver fantastic community centred events.

Phew, that was a great thing we did! What a fantastic community to be part of! And now onto planning for next year's event!
