6:30 pm – 9 pmJoin the members of our community as we gather weekly to hit each other with weapons, and to work on our projects. Whether you’re new, ancient, working on a masterpiece, or just looking to hang out, we invite you to come share in our fun.
Garb is encouraged, but optional.
Group gear is available for those wishing to participate in heavy and fencing combat, so don’t let your lack of fight-kit keep you away! Your own groin protection, though, is necessary for full-on fighting. If you do not have groin protection, drills and slow-work is still possible.
Often, drinks/snacks after practice may occur, though such plans are spontaneously formalised and never guaranteed.

-Conan and Robert - Myrgan Wood Confidence Poll Update
Officials from the kingdom will be prepared to run the Myrgan Wood Confidence poll at Myrgan Wood Anniversary. If you have any thoughts, comments or concerns about how our Baron and Baroness are doing, there will be an opportunity to pass those along at the event. A form will be prepared for baronial members who are unable to attend.
The poll is an opportunity for the Crown to see how our leaders are doing. While your comments will not be anonymous, the Baron and Baroness will not see them. Please be considerate and constructive. 🙂
