[Steppes] Steppes Archery Practice 9/2/07:

[JW Bishop]

Greetings all,
   
  Despite my silence we still plan to hold our regularly 
  scheduled archery practice tomorrow  9/2/07,  it's 
  just been a very busy week for us!
   
  Our Steppes archery practice is held upon Eastfield 
  college's archery range located at 3737 Motley 
  Drive in Mesquite, Texas (that's just to the south 
  side of the tennis courts and three blocks north of 
  the Motley exit I-30 East). 
   
  Practice starts around 10 AM and runs until about 
  1 PM.  There are some shade trees available 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 
  I would recommend bringing 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 watch for 
  our confirmation post to the Steppes list around 
  8AM 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.  Our 
  weather forecast currently claims mostly clear 
  skies, cooler temperature and a moderate breeze 
  for Sunday, Woo Hoo!  
   
  So pray come out and join us on the field this 
  Sunday to loft a few feathered shafts down range.  
  We hope we shall see you there!
   
  In service,
