[Namron] Chivalric, Archery, and Rapier Practice changes.

[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]

The main reason is that we weren't getting much attendance at fighter 
practice where it was.  People would drop by, not see anything going on 
and leave.  As more time went on, less people would come by because they 
would figure no one else would be out there and it would be a wasted 
trip.  Right now, we have an active archery and rapier practice with a 
good number of people showing up every weekend.  My hope is that we will 
reach a critical mass of chivalric fighters to have a regular heavy 
practice as well.  We have also had quite a bit of interest in combat 
archery, and this will allow us to have combined practices.  In the 
beginning, if there aren't very many heavy fighters, there will still be 
people there to talk to and hopefully people will still consider it 
worth the effort to come out.  If we get enough fighters and they want 
to move it back to the park, that is fine by me, I just want to see it 
grow.  Muriel and I are planning on spreading the word to all the 
fighters in the area, and giving rides to those college students without 
transportation.

I remember the days of fighter practice in Andrews Park where a good 
portion of the Barony would come out, and I would like to see us get 
back to that.  This is an attempt to work towards that.  If it doesn't 
work, we can always try something else.

In Service,
Baron Donnchadh
