Thanks to Chiara for bring up what was going on the side lines.
Especially about Kathryn and her activities on the side lines, while
fighter practice was going on.

My apologies to Kathryn for not listing her as being in attendance on
Sunday. 

The total attendance for last Sunday's fighter practice now stands at
32, instead of 31.
