:April 2023 - Approval has been sought from the Society Rapier Marshal and US Board of Directors for a variance to use fibreglass blades in Lochac on an ongoing basis. At present, approval only exists in an [https://www.sca.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/app6.pdf appendix] to the previous Society Fencing rules, and is not referenced elsewhere, but still published on the Society website.  This variance will allow Lochac to continue to use fibreglass blades should that document be removed.
