Greetings,<BR>
<BR>
We had another good practice session this week. I want to remind all the fighters that there a number of local fighting events in the next few weeks. This is a good opportunity for those fighters who are not yet authorized to get authorized. Also many of the events are particularly good for melee practice which will help up get ready for Pennsic. Here is a summary of the upcoming events with web links.<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0206/highland.htm">Highland River Melees</A> - June 14th - 16th. This event is in Hagerstown, MD. It is a good event to practice as a Baronial Unit and is also a good place to Authorize.<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0206/stierbach-bday.htm">Stierbach Baronial Birthday</A> - June 21st - 23rd. This event is in Prince William Forest Park in Prince William Virginia. Another good event to authorize.<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0206/novice.htm">Storvik Novice Tourney</A> - June 29th. This event is in Glenn Dale, MD approximately 10 minutes outside the beltway. This is a great event for the new fighters to test themselves against other new fighters.<BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0206/nrwp.htm">Northern Regional Practice</A> - June 30th. This is a Sunday event and will supersede our normal practice. It is at the same site as the Novice tourney which is held on Saturday. This is again another opportunity to practice as a Baronial unit in melees.<BR>
<BR>
Ponte Alto Practice and Picnic - Sunday, July 7th. This will be just like our last week on June 2nd. Try to bring a little food and or drink to share if you are able. <BR>
<BR>
<A HREF="http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0207/assessment.htm">The King's Assessment Battles</A> - July 12-14. This is the Kingdoms Pre war practice and will be the baronies final chance to fight in large melees battles before Pennsic. It is also one of the last chances for getting authorized before Pennsic.<BR>
<BR>
Once again I want to thank everyone for supporting the baronial practices. We are starting up Thursday practice at Pimmit Park for both Heavies and Rapier. I look forward to see you out there.<BR>
