 From the perspective of someone who is still relatively new (2 years in a
couple of weeks) I really liked having a break in revel before going to an
event.  One good piece of garb is a good place to start and it doesn't have
all the pressure and work of putting on an event.  I also know that much of
my learning about things came through setting around visiting with people
at fighter practices.  I am curious about what all gatherings of people
(fighter practices, various guilds and populace meetings) people do that
serve these functions for their groups.  What do you all do on a monthly
basis within your groups and how is it working?
