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 - blankets

To Master Robin, HL Rixende, Don Alaric and Don Duncan -
I hope that I recorded the proper weapons that each of you were
practicing with.

And to Don Alaric, a apology - I failed to record your bouts this
day, the only reason for this failure on my part was pulled away
as part of my duties as KM during the practice and did not see
your fights fights.
