[Loch-soilleir] Loch fighter practice survey

[Steelquist, John F]

And now the devil's advocate:

It's hot!
I've got to mow the lawn, go to church, visit the folks, see a movie, watch sports, ...
So, who's going to run it? (And do they mind sitting alone in a park every weekend?)

An additional (& separate) practice adds: 
an opportunity for those who can't, for whatever reason, make Tuesday nights
well, more practice (duh) (& practice under the same conditions that the tourneys will be fought under)
public visibility

Perhaps simply scheduling a couple of one-off 'mini-event / demo' practices would serve for public exposure & maybe even the "I can't make Tuesdays" crowd.

For myself, I would show up to a Sunday practice sometimes, but I won't commit to anything like regularly...
Most of our local fighters are authorized marshals, getting them to show up is the trick.

At next Tuesday's populace meeting we will discuss the possibility of having
a local fighter practice.  Please respond to the following questions so that
we can gauge the interest level.

How many fighters are interested in having a practice in the Loch?

How many authorized marshals does the Loch have for Chiv?  Rapier?

How many are willing to marshal a fighter practice?

How many times per month?

What day/time?


A local practice will increase the SCA's visibility in the area and lead to
recruitment of interested people.  Also, it is a great opportunity to
socialize with other baronial members.
