ST - Feedback on moving fighter practice?

[Jann Mays]

Yes, but this doesn't mean that it can't still happen occasionally.  I 
remember a particularly enjoyable card-weaving class at fighter practice as 
taught by Lady Margaret Pearce.  I think she called it, "Now that you have 
an inkle loom, what's weft?"  :D  Instead of guild meetings, it wouldn't be 
such a terrible idea to have the occasional fiber arts or C&I class out 
there (if the weather's decent, of course).  Besides, we may attract more 
talented ladies to our Barony.
