ST - Feedback on moving fighter practice?

[baron@elfsea.ansteorra.org]

With respect, in all my years in the SCA I have never 
heard of any police department anywhere causing trouble 
for a local SCA fighter practice in a public park.  If 
the Carrollton PD has questions, not only do they have 
us to ask, but also the Dallas and Arlington Police 
Departments (and Fort Worth, too, as both Elfsea and 
Lindenwood have used a FWPD facility for events).
