Calling LARPers in the London area

[caddyman]

As part of the stock take of items here in the Athenaeum Club before Furtle and I bite the bullet and begin to pack, we have found that we have most of a suit of black rubber armour. A number of you will recall the very effective black armour worn at a number of events many years ago by Adam Taylor sans LJ.

Adam moved out of the Athenaeum shortly after I moved in, three years ago, and left it here. He has since announced that he intends never to LARP or Freeform again (if he has changed his mind, I am unaware) and I doubt he wants this armour. It is in need of minor repair, but as far as I can tell is otherwise serviceable. It is free to the first person who a) claims it and b) tells me when they can collect it. Otherwise it will be binned, which is a shame, but neither I nor Furtle have a use for it.

If anyone thinks Ser Taylor might want it back, please feel free to remind him of its existence.

Hmmmm, what is your timeframe?

It has to be gone by the evening of Sunday 15 June as we are moving the next day.

What type of armour is it? And is it suitable for someone of a sensible size (read fat bloke) ?

As I recall it is a vaguely mediaeval/fantasy stylee with spikes (a couple of which have fallen off), made of rubber matting and other stuff. It is quite well done and those who saw it in use were very impressed. Adam is a tall bloke but not otherwise sensibly proportioned, but I expect that a little work with straps would allow the various plates to fit together well enough, especially if you wore knitted mail underneath...

It's a long time since I saw it all assembles in its glory and sadly I don't have any pictures of it. I was hoping that peoples' memories would help out!

And finally whereabouts are you?

Whetstone, north London. Just south of Barnet.

Email me on my hotmail account if you want more details!

I know it well. It was made to fit a chap of about 6' 2" and I don't think would be sutible for anyone of any great girth. Adam isn't skinny but he's not excatly chubby either.

It's black, chaos-ish armour with spikes on the shoulders and curling horns on the helmet.
