We have been able to upgrade our July 7th practice into an actual event. By doing this we will be able to hold authorization fights for both the heavy fighters and rapier fighters. The event is still free and begins at noon. Below is the flyer which was sent to the Kingdom Chronicler. Please say thank you to Gwen for squeezing us in at the last minute. It was a great favor for the Barony. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at THRID@aol.com or Denise at DCADENISE@aol.com.<BR>

The Barony of Ponte Alto invites you to fighting and picnicking in the park. The event is located at our regular Sunday practice site. We are planning on having both heavy and rapier fighting. We will be focusing on practicing melee fighting in preparation of Pennsic. There will be authorizations for both heavy and rapier fighters. You are encouraged to bring some form of food and/or drink to share with your fellow Atlantians. This is a dry site.<BR>
<BR>
For nonfighters, bring your arts and science projects to work on while you enjoy the food and drink.<BR>
