Practice Friday October 28th

2011-10-28T07:48:00.000-07:00

Practice is a go for today BTW. :)

Practice Friday October 21st

2011-10-18T09:33:00.001-07:00

The will be practice this coming week (Friday October 21st), it will be run by Mog as I am out of town. We will meet again the week after (Friday October 28th). I will try and have some weapons build stuff again that week.

EDIT: Practice is now a GO for this friday, that is a change, please let people know!

Practice on Friday October 14th

2011-10-12T14:45:00.001-07:00

We got 2 new shields built last week, I will see if I can cut another one out for this week if anyone wants one (I think I have enough foam but need to check). I still have some swords as well. Weather looks good this week to, see you for fighting at 2:30!

Practice on Friday October 7th (and weapons build)

2011-10-07T11:03:00.001-07:00

I will be at Practice today, rain or shine! Looking like shine might hold up for us though!

Practice on Friday September 23rd (and weapons build)

2011-09-22T07:58:00.001-07:00

Practice will be as usual on friday, if you want any gear checked before the event (eg. so you can then fix it and be sure it will pass) bring it to the practice, also I will have weapons build stuff there again if you want to guild your own gear for the event (There will be lots of people there and my loaner supply is dwindling so pickings may be thin). It was to windy to glue last week so I still have shields ready to glue for $20 and swords ready to glue at $10. See you friday!

Practice on Friday September 16th

2011-09-15T21:35:00.001-07:00

Ok guys, if you want gear for the event I am brining stuff again tomorrow. I have 2 swords left ready to be glues ($10), and will have 2 shields ready to be assembled if you want ($20). I am not making money on this, I am just trying to cover 70-90% of my materiel costs. Not only are these are really good deals, not only will you now have your own personal weapon for your very own when I run out of loaners, most importantly you will know how a sword (or shield) is made so you can make your own amazing gear.

By the way, shields are awesome, I highly recommend getting one. See you tomorrow.

Oh, also, I have to take off right away at 4:30 sharp, so lets try to get right one things!

Practice, Friday Sept 9th & weapons build day!

2011-09-07T09:28:00.000-07:00

It looks like we should have some lovely weather this friday for practice so bring some water if you are able!

Also remember to bring $10 if you want to build a sword, I have 5 PVC swords cut out and ready for glueing so it wont take long to make them. The words range from 25"-30" cores, the $10 covers the materiel costs.

Practice, Friday Aug 26th

2011-08-25T12:13:00.001-07:00

Practice on Friday July 1st (Canada Day)

2011-06-30T15:39:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, happy Canada Day! Practice will be held as usual, I don't think there will be any problems, though if the park is being used for something else just look around a bit and we will move to make sure we don't bug anyone.

I will be away for the next few weeks (up through Chaos Wars), so I need to arrange with some of you regular types to make sure things keep going.

Also, I will be in the parade this year with the Passion Play, so watch for me! :)

In the mean time I encourage all of you to visit a Calgary practice to get your fighting twitches out.

During harvest time, three of the thirty chief men came down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!" So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the LORD. "Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this!" he said. "Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives?" And David would not drink it.

~2 Samuel 23:13-17

Practice on Friday July 30th

2010-07-29T11:16:00.000-07:00

Phoy on the rain, practice is going ahead. I (Cib) will be there, looking forward to some good fighting!

Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim for battle. Then the men of Israel retreated, but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead.

~2 Samuel 23:9-10

2009-11-24T09:32:00.000-08:00

IT looks like friday will be very nice weather. The festival of lights has taken over the park, but as long as we respect that we should be fine. There is always at least one field open, so we will have to figure that out on friday.

Is anyone willing to brave the weather? I dare you to show up and FIGHT!

Supper

2009-10-02T11:29:00.000-07:00

This is kind of short notice but you will need to bring your own food for the event. We may be having to much fun to care but if you do you will have to bring it yourself.

Important!

2009-09-29T17:46:00.000-07:00

For the weapons building time on Friday please bring your money in $15 dollars blocks even if you want 2 swords because I can already tell you that if enough people show up that we won't have the quantity of swords for everyone to have 2. So please please please bring your money in 15$ blocks.

Invasion of Arderyth (update)

2009-09-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

We are going to have a weapons building time form 2-4 before the main event. Everyone who wants to take home a weapon please bring $15. If you want to take two then the price will be $30. Also anyone who wants to do the event please bring your own supper or you might perhaps starve.

For the main event we will be doing weapons checks. Anyone who comes to the weapons building time will be taut how to do that. Also because of close calls we have had with head shots anyone who is found using an illegal weapon and/or shooting illegal head shots will be out for a game or until the person he/she hit is well enough to get back in the game whichever is longer.

Monday Practice Canceled

2009-09-01T08:45:00.000-07:00

Well last Monday's practice was a good one. We got a couple of people come by and try it out. We all had fun and relaxing evening. That said however on a whole we are not getting enough people to keep this practice going. The practice would eventually be canceled anyway because we would have sooner of later run out of daylight. So, in considering all of the factors the Monday practice will be canceled permanently until further notice.
