Is it usual for people to be wandering about the place at these affairs armed? I quite understand that a broadsword, or an SLR is not everyday wear, but it is certainly different to what we are used to over here at a Highland show. Yes we do get some and I think they are getting more usual, but I am not quite sure what our local constabulary would think of knife throwing competitions! Looks as though you were all having fun, which is the whole idea!
