That would be nice, except that the barony agreed to make it's decision at
November Moot. I had rather strong reservations regarding making such a
quick decision, but others did not.

I understand that Fort Worth parks are not as "against" archery as Arlington
parks, but I agree with Xene here. We ought to have something in WRITING.
>Fighter practices don't usually bring them in.
I don't necessarily agree. There are times when Fighter Practice is a good
"recruiting" tool. It provides a relaxed atmosphere to bring new people in.
Even if they were not recruited at Fighter Practice, having a good fighter
practice helps keep those who are brought in.

I agree with Xene (and Arabella) regarding Trinity. I don't think anywhere
after dark is really a safe place, but there are definitely some areas that
are worse than others.
My choices are River Legacy Park & Bedford Boys Ranch (in that order). But
I'll go to either.
