[Gatesedge] Fw: [Coastal] GE Fighter Practice CANCELLED - why?

[Joel Colvin]

If there is at least one other in armor then I will make the trip with my
armor and plan to be there gearing up at 10am.

I also appreciate the concern, but at the same time feel it is up to the
fighters to decide if THEY think it's too hot to train in. Anyone who
doesn't want to train doesn't have to. No non-fighters need to come to the
practice, either. So it comes down to whether or not those who are ACTUALLY
in armor and fighting want to be there. 

Tourney season will be upon us soon, and I for one, would like to get in as
much fighting as possible before hand. 

Yes, the heat will be bad, at 3:00 in the afternoon, well after we're
finished. 

(Even Sir Rhodir thinks it's good for conditioning to train in the heat; it
helps prepare fighters for events like Steppes War Lord, Gothic, and Crown.)

 My .02 worth.
