Hello,
Heavy Fight Practice will take place at 1 PM this Sunday. We will be meeting at 14 Quail Run, Allison Park (It’s about 15 minutes from Washington Blvd up Rt 28 to Harmar exit then west on rt 910). Loaner armor will be available.
Hello,
This weekend is Iron Comet, and heavy fighting will be part of the festivities. I hope to see many of you there.
This also means there will not be heavy fight practice on June 24.

Weather is happening, yes, it may rain (shocking, I know); if it does, we will cancel this week’s A&S. Call me for verification if you wish, I will also post on FB.
FLETCHING!
Sunday is A&S in BMDL, and this week’s class is on modern fletching, and will be taught by Master Urho Waltterinen. This is only the second time that Urho has taught for us, so please take advantage of this rare opportunity. Because this is a time-consuming process, as we must wait for the glue to dry, we are starting a little earlier than usual at 12:30. All of the jigs, glue, shafts, feathers and all the other things will be brought for us to learn on. Thanks, Urho!!
Location: Washington Boulevard martial practice site Address: Allegheny River Blvd and Washington Blvd. Directions: http://www.debatablelands.org/martial/fight_directions.php Time: 12:30 PM. Weather permitting!
Standard disclaimers here:
We are now accessible to our less mobile friends, have free parking, and a pet-friendly site. Yay!
However, keep in mind that you should bring everything you need for your comfort including a chair, a beverage or snack, bug spray, sunscreen, hat, cabana boy, rain boots, scuba suit, etc., etc., etc. Also, the site has a porta-john and no running water should you wish to make appropriate preparation.
I will have a table and a jug of water so that you can refill your water bottles or mugs.
If you need assistance or have questions, please call or text me at 724-759-3333.
Thank you for asking! These meetings are free and there is no materials charge, as we are generously supported by the Barony and the teachers themselves.
