By way of  history, this is something that used to occur in many of the 
Baronies in Ansteorra, but as the kingdom calendar filled up with two and 
sometimes three events each weekend many of the members of the local groups 
began to travel much more and a lot of us ended up having to use our few 
weekends at home to mow the lawn, weed the garden, take the kids to the 
museum, and generally do the things from our mundane lives that require 
weekend time. Most of the guilds found it more beneficial to meet on week 
nights at indoor locations, and the increase in activity on a kingdom level 
by so many members, resulting much more travel, led to a decrease in the 
attendance at local fighter practices held on Saturdays or Sundays. Some 
groups have even begun to hold their main practice on a week night instead of 
using much more valuable weekend spare time and have found that their 
attendance began to increase. 

Edwin, baron
