Jape,
The PAAS website can be found at http://www.spearthroweruk.net/
We welcome all who wish to join us as a not for profit sports organisation dedicated to fostering the use of ancient archery and atlatl equipment. Those who want to shoot with us or actively participate would probably need to join us for insurance purposes but this only costs £12 for a year. You could thus be a member even if you only visit us once. I am sure we could work something out.
I have let Steve know that you would like to contact him but I don't have his website information. Those swords really are lovely. I would like one, even if I don't know what I would do with it!

Ron,
If you ever come over it would be good to see you. We have some PAAS events planned for Flag Fen in the Autumn and Butser next year that may be of interest.
The roundhouse structure is quite organic. I guess that a similar need for shelter and use of similar materials can lead to similar structures around the world.

Frank,
In the last few years us Brits have had to move out of roundhouses. Out little island is so small and crowded we could no longer afford the gaps that round houses leave and we moved into little square boxes. It was thus only recently that we dicovered the corner!  ;D
The Fraternity of St George shoot should be good. I think I'll only be able to make it on the Sunday. Have a good time in Poland.

Mark in England

thanks mark!

George Tsoukalas:
That is so fantastic. Sure is nice to have a place like that to get together. It's even nicer that you are meeting to keep the ancient arts alive. Jawge

The Singing Bowyer:
Beautiful!!  Love it!
