 Amra, Thank you for seeing the bright side in this :)

Another good thing I see about this is that the tourney at the hill is
going to include archery also, which our most recent Duke considers a
*very* important part of our war effort.   I don't think this is
possible at the park that you mentioned for war practice.  (Could be
wrong about that too).   Don't forget those who may wish to test their
light weapons skills too.    I truly regret that I will not be able to
attend war practice, (our siege engine team could use a little work ya
know!) but my first responsibility is to my household.
