I attended a Meeting, Fighting Practice and Potluck at Fearann na Criche today. I did not have time to stay for the food but I enjoyed the Meeting and Fighting Practice.
It began around Noon but I did not arrive until nearly 2pm. At that time the Meeting was taking place and included a discussion on upcoming locations for demo’s or fighting practices. As the meeting was wrapping up we adjourned to the yard and started a Fighting Practice. During the practice I had the good fortune of fighting Morgan and Jeff and a new person (who’s name escapes me) who was in armor for the first time. I thought everyone did very well and I lasted somewhat longer than I had Wednesday at Northwoods. As I had to leave at 5pm for a previous engagement they pulled out Fencing Gear and it looked like several members were going to take part in the Fencing.
The only problem was that I broke the aluminum cross guard on my sword. So I have some repair work to perform on my kit now!!!
I would like to thank John St. John and Emma for opening their home for the activities.

Northwoods Fighting Practice
Wednesday March 26,
I attended the Fighting Practice at Northwoods for the first time since the last century!!! I had a wonderful time fighting. I had hoped to make the practice before 7pm but by the time I located all my armor and packed the car, I did not end up in armor until nearly 8pm. The practice ended at 9pm but it was probably for the best, since I am out of practice, a solid hour of fighting was about all I could handle. Near the end of the hour I was already dropping my guard because my arms had tired. If I got the names of the fighters correct I had the chance to spar in a Bear Pit with Berach, Etain, Rannulf & Verrix. I hope to attend many more as time and my work schedule permits.

Lady Terryl's Artisan Guild
Catching up on my Blog again!! A couple of weeks ago Robert and I attended the Tuesday night Artisans Guild at Lady Terryl’s.
Kudo’s to Diego for teaching the class on making Pouches and Drogo for bringing extra leather that Robert could use to make his Pouch. Robert was very happy with the way his Pouch turned out.
Thanks Diego, Drogo and Terryl!!!!
