[Ponte Alto] 2nd East/Atlantian Interkingdom Practice from Noon to 5pm on 1/25/09

[Max Nelson]

Given the much renowned success of our first Interkingdom practice in  
October, we have been asked often and loudly for a sequel.  This time,  
the practice will be closer to Atlantian borders held on 1/25/09 from  
Noon to 5pm in the shire of Caer-Adamant, who proudly offered to host  
the practice at their indoor practice site (which just happens to have  
an adjacent bar).

As per the last practice, the focus and emphasis of the event will be  
on training and practicing individual prowess and single combat  
skills, since there tends to be a significant number of events focused  
on melee training and war practice throughout the year.

King Darius, Duke Ronald Wilmot, Duke Timothy of Arindale, Sir Tanaka  
Raiko, Sir Albrecht Von Halstern, Sir Gabriel of Maccuswell, and a  
whole bunch of their folks and others are expected to be in attendance  
at the practice from the East.  We've also heard rumors that mercenary  
friends from Galatia and the Markland Army may very well be in  
attendance, as may some travelers from Aethelmearc.  It looks to be an  
outstanding opportunity to gain insight into a wide variety of styles,  
skills, and talents from far and wide just a couple've hours North of  
us.

We are still looking for folks to join us to show the Easterners the  
strength of Atlantia, as Atlantian turnout at the last practice was  
extremely far from ideal, to say the least.  If there's any chance you  
can make it, this a fantastic opportunity to fight some fantastic  
folks and learn from some of the best.  If there's a chance you can  
make it to fight, or to come have a great time on a fun road trip and  
help provide some extra passenger seats -- please think about joining  
us!  Last time proved to be a fantastic opportunity to fight a great  
group of extremely talented fighters with different styles, methods,  
and skills and to learn and be tutored from some of the very best.   
And the stories from the dinner afterwards and the rides to and from  
were truly bard-worthy!

Please contact me at warlord at pontealto.org if you have any plans  
whatsoever of attending (no matter how spurious), as the host shire is  
looking to get and maintain a rough head-count.

Ridesharing and caravaning from throughout the Northern Region of  
Atlantia are being arranged by the Expeditionary Corps through Lady  
Kat at dreadpiratekat at gmail.com and details can be found at their  
Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BeneficiariusMilitaribus/  
-- so please contact her as soon as possible if you want to carpool or  
caravan to the practice.  If there is sufficient demand beforehand, we  
might be able to arrange a group bus.

The practice will be held at the Smyrna Ambulance Company/American  
Legion at 107 W. Glenwood Ave in Smyrna, DE.

We look forward to seeing everyone there, and hope everyone will make  
an effort to join us.

In Service,

Max Von Halstern
