[Steppes] Steppes Fighter Practice - 04-01-2007

[Mike]

Heilsa,

Wind and Rain gone for now
Sky clean and blue
Sun shinning down upon one and all
Mowing cease for 2 Moons of Time
Blue of petals - Flower of State
Fills the fields
More than thought possible
What with lack of Water
Although upwards of 9 inches fell
Yet the ground in the park
Held firm for most who attended
Some also attended the Springfaire
Held on Saturday - and had the glow
Good fighting was had by all
Yet, these few sought more
Fighting at all levels
Crown will be here next weekend
Thus, new heirs to the Sable Crown

If you are a member of the SCA, meaning that you have a
current "Blue Card" then you must present it at each practice
prior to taking the field and not have to sign the waiver.

On the other hand, if you do NOT have a "Blue Card", then you must
signed the waiver.

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!

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
This time of year -
- Dressed in layers
- Stadium Blankets or something to break the wind
- etc...
