ST - Re: ES - flagpole Hill

[Annette Brauer]

Dux,

Just to let you know this was brought up at the populace meeting last night. 
  Since this is near and dear to my heart and Richard couldn't be there I 
spoke for him.

The one thing he hates is having to get out of his chair and crawl, yes 
folks crawl, on a nasty porta potty floor.

I have kept silent on this matter until now.  Many good points and concerns 
were brought up at the meeting last night.

One thing is has the city of Carrollton to make sure that it is ok to hold 
practice there?  Anyone contacted the liaison for the police department to 
make sure they understand that we are not beating each other up (well we are 
but ya know what I mean)

Marguerite who uses this park on a regular basis said that on Sunday's the 
park is quite busy.  Is there enough parking to accommodate everyone?

What about the neighborhood people?  How will they feel about us sharing 
their space on Sunday.  Will they make it hard for us to use the park?

If fighter practice grows is there enough space to have several people 
practicing at the same time?  What about shade.  The pavilion there is used 
a lot, there is no guarantee that it will be available.  Is there enough 
space to hold joint fighter practices?

Another concern is easy access from the interstates.

Richard mentioned when I got home that there is a baseball field across the 
street from the park, but again there is no guarantee that it will be 
available when needed.

While I don't think that everyone is against moving from Flag Pole Hill 
there are concerns about a new location and how people react to what we are 
doing.

After hearing some of the concerns about the new park, I asked for 
volunteers to look for other parks that we might use.

The most important items:
a working bathroom that is not 1/4 mile away uphill, that is kept clean, and
doesn't have a peephole cut out for perverts to get their jollies through;
and flat ground so that folks in wheelchairs don't go rolling off downhill
when they try to fight.

To properly understand those, one needs to be aware that we have a fighter
in a wheelchair who is either a knight-level fighter, or very close to it,
who doesn't come to Sunday practice because the effort just to go to the
bathroom robs him of the energy to fight.  Then, too, we have an Archery
Marshal in Elfsea who is also in a (motorized) wheelchair, who comes out for
our joint practices.  That steeply-sloped ground can be pretty hard for him
to get around on, as well.
