[Steppes] Steppes fighter practices in April and after

[Susan Hill]

Alas!

It grieves me that this decision has been made, just as the weather begins
to be nice enough for the Sundays in the Park to be enjoyable again. I was
looking forward to spending Sundays after Archery practice on the Hill, but
driving all the way to Carrollton after finishing at 2 p.m. in Mesquite is
impractical, and with the price of gas right now, expensive. When I did a
demo at the Hill in November, they had a handicapped biffy and I have
learned, since I arrived in TX, to bring water with me wherever I go,
especially when it is hot. I cannot, however provide my own shade trees. I
wonder if attendance would have picked up on its own, soon, as the weather
is improving. I had planned to make it a day at the park yesterday, but
figured that no one would be there being that the fighters weren't showing
up, or at least those who read the email, anyway.

Greetings unto the populace of the Barony of the Steppes and it's beautiful
Cantons of Lindenwood and Glaslyn!

I have important news regarding fighter practices in our fair Barony.

First and foremost, starting the first weekend in May, May 6th to be exact,
Sunday 2:00 p.m. fighter practice will be moved back to Mary Heads Carter
park in Carrollton.  While Flag Pole Hill is a nice park with larger shade
trees, attendance has been extremely low and the lack of certain amenities
such as handicapped accessable restrooms, water and a close playground were
factors.

Next, I would like to discuss two specific fighter practice Sundays in
April.  This coming weekend is ElfSea Spring Fair.  HE Fritz has informed me
that he will be unable to attend fighter practice on Sunday April 6th due to
Spring Fair.  I am unable to fight until sometime near the end of April.
So... is anyone going to show up at FlagPole Hill to fight on Sunday?  If
people want to show up and fight, I'll drive down with the loaner gear and
do the Marshal thing, but I don't want to drive down if nobody is going to
be there.  So, let me know if you're interested.  Post it to the list and
we'll see how many people want to fight this weekend.  If nobody replies
that they want to fight, I'll cancel the practice.  Check this space Sunday
morning for official word.

The next Sunday in question is April 20th, Easter weekend.  I will be unable
to attend practice that day.  If anyone needs the loaner gear, please
contact me privately in advance and we'll work something out.  Otherwise,
the loaner gear will not be at FlagPole Hill on the 20th.

Yours in Service,
Lord Morgan Buchanan
Knight Marshal
Barony of the Steppes, Ansteorra
