       I do wish that garb would be worn at the fighter practices here.  Our
barony, Sternfeld, never wears garb to any of them.  The fighters dress upon
arriving, fight, change, and then leave.  Only time we see garb is at demos.
I think it would be nice to have the people wear garb, it would certainly
generate interest, and curiosity from the passers-by.

        Ours are held outside during warm weather, and then moved inside to
a gym during the colder months.
