[MR] Nottinghill Coill Baronial War Practice is only 16 days away!

[Diederich Von Basel]

Greetings to the list! Just sending out a reminder that our fair barony will be hosting a War Practice the weekend of September 17-19th for all interested from Nottinghill Coill and Beyond. It's a great opportunity for our armored and rapier fighters to get in needed melee work and tactics in preparation for War of the Wings V. We will also have several classes taught throughout the day for those who's pursuits are of a gentler nature. And don't forget the wonderful feast and bardic we have planned after the fighting on Saturday evening! Please come out and enjoy the hospitality of our barony and the friendship of our populace. More information can be found at http://www.ritterwald.com/baronial-war-practice.html . Read on for the event flyer and details.
