[SCA-BMDL] Sca-bmdl Digest, Vol 30, Issue 10

Thu Feb 14 14:15:43 EST 2008

Regarding Barony Meetings
:
4) Move away from weeknights to Sunday afternoons (probably associated with
fighter/fencing practice).

This choice leaves a lot of church-goers out in the cold - one reason I
never make fight practice.

Just a thought! :)
