[Steppes] Steppes Archery Practice 8/19/07

[JW Bishop]

Greetings all,
   
  Long range forecast predict 30% chance of rains from 
  the tropical storm to the south but we still plan to hold 
  our regularly scheduled archery practice this Sunday 
  8/19/07 on Eastfield's college's archery range at 3737 
  Motley Drive in Mesquite, Texas (that's just to the 
  south side of the tennis courts).
   
  Archery practice starts around 10 AM and runs until 
  about 1 PM.  There are some shade trees available 
  which to sit under and we bring a cooler full of ice
   water to share,  just bring your own cup, mug, or 
  bottle to refill.  Also bring a camp chair to rest 
  yourself in under the trees.  Pray be advised, 
  there are restrooms inside the campus buildings 
  however they are a bit of a walk from the archery 
  range.  
   
  Like populace, period dress is optional not required,  
  but does draw attention to our activities and sometimes 
  helps attract new members, however in the heat of our
  Ansteorran summer the more important thing is to 
  dress comfortably.  We do request if you have personal 
  banners and pennants that you bring them to hang on 
  the fence behind us or fly in that infamous Eastfield 
  breeze to add some color and help our archery activities 
  get noticed.
   
  We do have limited loner gear available at this time 
  which we add to each week so if you would like to 
  come and learn to shoot a bow please don't hesitate.  
  Or if just sitting in the shade and visiting with friends 
  is more to your liking you might be surprised at what 
  comes across the bow within the little circle under 
  the shade trees at the range.  
   
  Should the weather appear questionable (and it does) 
  watch for our confirmation post to the Steppes list 
  around 8 AM Sunday mornings.  If it's likely to rain or 
  the field is too wet & muddy we'll post any necessary 
  last minute cancellations at that time.
   
  So pray come out and join us on the field this 
  Sunday to loft a few feathered shafts down range 
  with us, we hope we shall see you there!
