As Eastwood's thoughts play on

Although last week, October 15, 2006, the practice was
canceled. A number of us still gathered there for some
worthwhile discussions. Total attendance: 10

Party was held within the park, and various members
arrived for it, then came out to watch the practice.
Including having a couple of them filmed the practice.
Handouts was given to one and all, hopefully one or
two or perhaps more will return and get into armor
or take up other activities within the SCA.

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!

Although the summer sun and heat have retied for a short time,
with November, December, January, February and perhaps
March as well will be cooler.

 Everyone needs to bring water to the park. I would recommend
the following:

Please bring at least 1 gallon or more of water and gatorade
 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, a bright sun with some wind and...
- Hats
