It would be great to have multiple deputies, but it took almost 1 YEAR to
find 1 deputy much less several. And it really isn't the issue of time to
devote to the office. Fighter practice starts at 2 pm, why should the knight
marshall have to wait 2-3 hours for someone to show up to practice? If time
is an issue, change the time. Yes, we do have loaner gear.

|
| I can bring up some fighters from other groups I know
| if they are wanted. Conroe is a nice location
| from this point of view.
|
| Does the barony have armor to train new fighters in?
|
| My work at kingdom restricts the amount of fighting I can
| do at events so I would really like a local practice
| to keep in shape. I have been by 4 practices this year
| and no one was there. It seems people drop by the practice
| at different times and if no one is there they leave. We
| are missing each other like ships passing in the night.
|
| Bryn Gwlad and Stargate have lots of non fighters at practices.
| If we do demos in a park we will need marshalls to watch the
| crowd. Pets and children love to investigate us close up.
| I can't see a small child very close up while wearing
| a helm because of the field of vision. These groups also have
| other activities such as A&S, herald consulting, some folks
| in garb, picnics or just visiting with people in the group.
|
| Has anyone talked to our neighboring groups about fighter
| practices? Has anyone considered visiting other fighter
| practices?
|
| It is also possible to designate like the first or last
| Sunday of a month to be a traveling fighter practice
| to several different sites. The rest of the month it stays in
| one place.
|
| Right now I have to go to Bjornsborg on Sundays to fight.
| Not a happy situation.
|
| You wanted thoughts on this problem so now you got em.
