[Steppes] Fighting Gathering in Steppes at MHC park 07-09-2006

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Sky of Blue
With Clouds of White and Gray
Towering Above to Match
That of Humidity as it rose
Mid-day, Wind from South
Grew in Strength, Breaking
Grip of Humid upon the land
A High of 96 recorded
Some with the Luck
Graced with Moisture from the Sky
Although few in location


Lady Yrsa came out with her sons to work upon Boffer
weapons.

A new group was discussed about forming:
called TWS
and there would possible be a more elite group known as
THWnH.
Details to follow, if enough interest is shown.

Future Events -

There is a possible War practice prior to
Gothic Wars in August - still in planning stage
at this time.

Gothic Wars:
Labor Day Weekend
September 2nd through 4th
Sweetwater, Texas

Please start drinking extra water several days prior to the day of practice.
This is also true of going to an event, be it SCA related or not.
You will have a better time and enjoy yourself more
if you are hydrate before you start your activity.
Energy drinks may give you a lift, but will not carry you as far,
  when compared to water and gatorade.

Remember - Pace yourself!

Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade. I
recommend 2 gallons of fluids and snacks to replenish your
energy levels if you are in armor and fighting.
Suggested of items you might wish to bring out:
- cold pickles
- oranges - energy bars - etc...
- Bring Chairs for you to sit upon.
- Sunscreen
- Hats
- Sun pavilions can be set up
