Yes, it was good publicity and Jezz, Simon & co did well.
We have had a lot of other good publicity recently as well. For example I did a 20 minute interview on Radio NZ about a month ago on the sports aspect of jousting and a number of other smaller broadcasters have also posted pieces on Harcourt Park.
At the moment I have 2 people in TV3 wanting to do stories on jousting.
I know that the jousting gets the lion's share of most of the re-enactment coverage in the media but it nevertheless is good publicity for the hobby in general. Whenever I get the chance in an interview, I always push the wider picture that it is a team effort and the jousters can't do what they do without the support of the foot crew and other re-enactors.

Very nice!!!! Its good to see publicity that shows all the training and skill thats required rather than geeks in metal whacking each other as seems to be normal!

Gotta say callum, your site link to the hapkido academy shows a common self defense scenario as being attacked by you - nice work 
I shall keep my eyes peeled for you so I can stay safe  |
