[SCA-BMDL] More information on Women's Fighting Symposium

[Cara & Char]

Greetings Women Fighters! As we are a week away from the Women's 
Fighting Symposium, here are some details:
First, the schedule:

12 noon-1pm Sword and Shield by Duke Sir Malcom (and possibly Count Sir 
Andrew)
1-2pm Katana/Great Sword by Sir Ogami with Countess Morgen
2-3pm Two Sword by Sir Maghnus with Baroness Ariella
3-4pm Polearm by Sir Koredono
4-5pm Spear by Sir Alonzio and Sir Graedwyn


As you can see, some of the most expert fighters in their forms have 
graciously offered to teach us. We would have asked them to address 
both tournament and melee combat and drills/exercises to help improve 
your fighting. Please come out and take advantage of this!

Second, we will have the Rain location be our castle's large basement 
and 3 car garage complete with pell and mirror (adequate for indoor 
fighting practice). The address is 755 Stonegate Dr, Wexford PA 
15090. Or, from Marshall Middle School, take right out of the parking 
lot onto Wexford Run Rd. Go till it ends in a T-intersection and turn 
left onto Mingo Rd. Take a right onto Stonegate about 3/4 mile later 
to get to our house. We will also have pizza dinner and crash space 
there after the Symposium (just let me know about crash space so I can 
plan).

Third, we will bring some loaner weapons (so you can try spear, for 
example, even if you don't own one) and some loaner gauntlets and 
armor. We will have 3 tents set up and some chairs, but feel free to 
bring more chairs. We will also have lots of water and some fighter 
snacks. 

Fourth, for those bringing children and significant others, they are 
welcome to play on the school's large playground near the fighting area 
or go play at the castle with my kids and Byron.

Any questions please call me at 724 933 4661 or Morgen at 412 956 
9081. Our emails are above as well. We welcome any more input or 
suggestions you'd like to give in the meantime.
Hope to see you there Saturday the 30th!
In Service,
Ariella and Morgen
