All of the base information for practices is on the meetings page - 
http://www.debatablelands.org/meetings.html - and emailing the relevant 
gentles responsible for those activities usually gets a fairly prompt 
response.

Information on locations, times, contact info, &c for all local martial 
practices are online on the Baronial Marshallate web page - 
http://www.dementia.org/~djl/sca/bmdl/marshal/marshal.html  I don't 
think there is currently a Tuesday night fencing practice, but if 
there's enough interest, I'm sure that Lord Charles - the baronial 
Captain of Fence - will do everything in his power to start it up 
again, at least until it's too dark / cold to do so.

I don't think that Sewing Circle meets very regularly these days, but 
if you contact Mistress Ts'vee'a via the link on the meetings page - 
http://www.debatablelands.org/meetings.html - I'm sure she'll help as 
much as she can.  In addition, there are many people around here who 
are quite knowledegable and I'm sure would be glad to help, though not 
necessarily within the specific context of Sewing Circle (scheduling 
conflicts can be a bear)

P.S.  If any of the recent immigrants to the Debatable Lands have any 
SCA awards, and/or passed names / arms, please let me know, so I can 
better fulfill my duties as kingdom Precedence Clerk.
