Due to high number of new individuals, the Bear Pit Tournament
was placed on hold as the more experienced fighters each
provided instruction to those who were new to this activity.
The tournament square was in place and the more advanced
fighters did make use of it.
Once again - will continue to have that tournament square available.

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
- Dressed in layers
- Stadium Blankets or something to break the wind
- etc...
