[Fwd: [MR] CORRECTIONS: Melee Fighter Practice - Ponte Alto Practice Nov 9th.]

[Brenna of Storvik]

OOPS!  In my haste to send the previous message out (see below), I've 
made several minor errors in the posting. This is a joint Ponte 
Alto/Storvik practice.  Ponte Alto has a site that is available during 
the day, and we share similar goals.   Sean, Perrin, and Finn of Storvik 
will be responsible for the unarmored combat drills and Master Kevin of 
Thornbury (not Sir, my error! Sorry!) will lead the armored portion. 
 The Northern Regional Warlord, Sir Vlad, will participating as well. 
 While this is a joint Ponte Alto and Storvik practice, all are welcome!

Lastly, this is in Virginia, close to the I-495 beltway.

In Service

Remember when Melee was Fun?  It can be again!  But it appears that we 
need a little practice to get back in the swing of the melee thing.  To 
that end, there will be a melee practice at the November 9th, at the 
Ponte Alto practice (Outdoors/Daylight is Good!),  thanks to the 
Graciousness of Ponte Alto, to remind us of how to work in units.  How 
to cover/work with your neighbor, move as a unit and answer questions 
such as "Just what is a killing cup?".   For those of us (such as 
myself) that need to know what our job is as a unit once we are 
positioned (that is: just how do I as a spear/shield and sword/etc. 
person take advantage of my position and  weapons strengths, what should 
I be doing?), and how to keep unit cohesion,  an unarmored drill 
practice with Storvik (through the consent of the practice marshall, Sir 
Kevin of Thornbury)  will be held starting at 1:00.   Armored combat 
with various scenarios will start at 2:00.   I hear tell someone is 
going to invite Angelsea's and other Frat Fighters and possibly some 
East Kingdom Fighters may join us as well.. This means good clean fun to 
be had for all!

If you enjoy this, (and I know you will), we will try to squeeze in 
another practice or so while the weather holds.  Then we will plan to 
pick them back up in early spring.  Please let me know if you are 
interested!   Sound good?  Good!

The practice is (weather permitting), 1PM - unarmored drills, 2PM to 
Dark - melee practice,  behind the Tysons-Pimmet Regional Library at 
7584 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church.  Sorry, since this is a practice, not 
an event, no authourizations can be conducted.

Take your best route to I-495. Get off at the exit for Route 7 East 
(Falls Church). The library is on the left about 1 mile. Park your car 
in the library lot and go down the hill to the practice. 

Please contact Kevin of Thornbury (Kevin Maxson) at 703-810-8438 for 
information.
