If you can get out of your armor in 10 minutes then fight until<BR>10:20. If it takes you longer to get out of armor and clean up then stop<BR>fighting earlier so that we can leave the site and lock the doors on time.<BR>If you have been reluctant to come to the Storvik practice because you could<BR>not get there before 8 p.m. or so, you can now come out and still get a good<BR>2-hour practice in. Practice s
till
starts at 7 p.m. See the Storvik website<BR>for directions: http://storvik.atlantia.sca.org/activities.html<BR><BR>We have a grassy area that we can use for melee now and we will be doing<BR>much more melee depending on interest and turn out. Recently we have been<BR>seeing 20 to 30 fighters at practice and have had plenty of interest. Now we<BR>have a better area to do melee. The grassy area is not near the streetlights<BR>or parking lot lights so we will have to stop melee practice once the lack<BR>of daylight makes it unsafe.<BR><BR>We have use of the gravel area next to the parking lot for parking and want<BR>to use this for vehicle parking and then use the ten parking spaces on the<BR>west side of the parking lot we fight in for more fighting. We would like<BR>people coming to practice to not park in these spaces to allow us to use<BR>them for fighting. The gravel parking is adjacent to the fighting parking<BR>lot and the grassy melee field. Additional parking is only 3
0 yards
or so to<BR>the east.<BR><BR>We are no longer able to store loaner armor at the site so please make<BR>arrangements before Monday night to get anything you might need. The Barony<BR>has a good amount of loaner armor for heavy fighters that is split between<BR>the Baron's house and the Knight Marshal's house. Please make arrangements<BR>to pick up any armor that you might need from:<BR><BR>Baron Sean de la Mare<BR>(MKA) John Dollymore<BR>4710 Tecumseh StreetCollege Park, MD 20740<BR>(301) 982-2060(no calls after 9pm)<BR>baron<AT>storvik.atlantia.sca.org<BR><BR>Or<BR><BR>Lord William the Younger<BR>(MKA) William Stanton<BR>2933 Craiglawn RoadSilver Spring, MD 20904<BR>(301) 586-8073<BR>knightmarshal<AT>storvik.atlantia.sca.org<BR><BR>Our rent has gone up substantially and as a result we will not be having<BR>practice on nights that we already know will have poor or non-existent<BR>attendance. We will not have to pay rent when we cancel practice far enough<BR>ahead of time. Sin

Pennsic will be taking virtually all of the fighters we<BR>will not be having practice the Monday of War Week 8/15/05. We will however<BR>be having practice the previous Monday, Land Grab Week. We also will not be<BR>having practice the day after Pennsic, 8/22/05, as everyone that went to<BR>Pennsic will most likely still be unpacking.<BR>8/08/05 Practice<BR>8/15/05 No Practice<BR>8/22/05 No Practice<BR><BR>We still have a wonderful air-conditioned indoor site for practice (heated<BR>in the winter). Since we can practice rain or shine we encourage everyone to<BR>come prepared to fight in gym shoes so that in case we do have to move<BR>inside due to rain everyone can fight without fear of marking the church<BR>floors. You are also welcome to fight indoors if the heat is unbearable, but<BR>I was reminded a couple of weeks ago that Pennsic is not air-conditioned, so<BR>if you want to practice for Pennsic, then practice outside if you can.<BR><BR>Since we will be asking for dona
tions to
off set our higher rent a little<BR>more often then we have been hawking donations in the past, we encourage<BR>fighters that regularly attend to make their donations once a month or once<BR>a quarter and do so by check thus allowing the donation to be tax deductible<BR>with the check as the receipt. Receipts for tax purposes for cash donations<BR>will be provided upon request.<BR><BR><BR>William the Younger<BR><BR><BR>========================================================================<BR>The Merry Rose Tavern at Cheapside<BR>List Info: http://merryrose.atlantia.sca.org/<BR>Submissions: Atlantia@atlantia.sca.org<BR>Subscriptions: http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/mailman/listinfo/atlantia<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><p>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
