[SCA-BMDL] NO BMDL Youth Fighter Practice this Sunday, but PENNSIC announcements!

[Karen Kasper]

Greetings to all Youth Fighters and their parents!

The Debatable Lands Youth Fighters gained much glory at Pennsic! 

Congratulations especially go to our Baronial Champion, Tiberius Aquila, who won the Division 3 Youth/Adult Tag Team Tourney in conjunction with his partner, Lord Gareth Kincaid, against 14 other teams. Kudos also go to Gwion ab Onen, who came in third in a stiff field of 24 teams in the Division 2 portion of that same tourney, partnered with Lord Vlad of Sunderoak. 

I would also like to congratulate Alethea Cowle, who was authorized to move up to Division 2 at Pennsic!

Other BMDL Youth Fighters who fought at Pennsic include Eiiden ibn Abdul Salam, Black Jack the Red, Kenneth of the Debatable Lands,  Lord Robert McEwin of Thornhill, and Theo.

Thanks also to Lady Ceindrech merch Elidir, who spent a great deal of time marshalling youth combat at Pennsic.

THERE WILL BE NO BMDL PRACTICES IN AUGUST due to Pennsic and the post-Pennsic recovery and laundry weekend.

HOWEVER, on Sat. August 27at Baronial Investiture the BARONIAL YOUTH CHAMPION TOURNEY will be fought. See here for more details on the event:  http://debatablelands.org/events.html 

See you at Investiture!

Arianna

>Greetings to all Youth Fighters and their parents!
>
>On Sunday, Debatable Lands Youth Combat practice will be held at the Washington Blvd. site from 2:00 pm through 5:00 pm.
>
>DUE TO THE HEAT, PLEASE BRING PLENTY OF WATER! I will be bringing even more water than usual and extra FREEZER POPS this week.  As usual we will try to stay in the shade, and we will take lots of breaks so we can keep our youth fighters safe.
>
>As always, I will have loaner gear available for any youth who would like to try youth combat. Remember to bring WATER BOTTLES, and to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
>
>The AEthelmearc Youth/Adult team tournament at Pennsic will be held on Tuesday, August 9, beginning at noon on the Southeast Battlefield. Youth fighters, now is the time to line up your adult team mates for this tourney! Please note that the Woods Battle is occurring that morning at 10 am, so you may want to find adult fighters who either aren't planning to fight in the woods or who possess a lot of stamina. :-)
>
>Other Youth activities of note at Pennsic include: 
>
>- Ealdormere Youth Bear Pit Tourney on Mon, August 8 at 3pm on the youth field
>- East / Middle Youth Tourney on Weds., August 10 at 2pm on the youth field
>- Water Battle (not youth combat, but water guns) on Weds., August 10 at 4pm at the fort
>- Youth Castle Battle, on Fri. August 12 at 3pm at the fort (start at youth field)

>And finally, because it has been so very hot, and my own son has been a victim of Heat Exhaustion (and almost Heat Stroke) this week, please be aware of the warning signs of heat illness -  nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headaches, muscle cramps, and/or dizziness. Hydration is key, and replacement of electrolytes with drinks like Gatorade can also help. Let's all stay safe, this week and at Pennsic!
