ST - Steppes/Elfsea joint practice, April 22:

Tue Apr 10 11:21:00 PDT 2001

Dux,

That is going to be a very long weekend for us with the New Comer's Revel
on Friday, the day trip Japanese Festival on Saturday, and Static Archery
Practice Sunday.  But we shall be in attendance with as many still
standing combat archers as I can muster.

Vivat Steppes, Vivat Ansteorra!
