Greetings,

This weekend on the 19th will be our third Baronial War training and our second last
before Festival.

There will be discussion and revision of the very usefull class Sir
Siridean taught at Border War and we will be bringing a roll of red
fabric to make sashes for those of the Baronial War Unit who don’t
have any and wish for one. ( This includes other members of
Politarchopolis wishing to represent the Barony if they don’t have the
means to do so already)

At this point we have a banner bearer and are still on the lookout for
Water bearers. If you are not inclined to the Martial arts and wish to
participate in the Baronial War unit as such in Wars at Festival,
please send us an email or let us know that you would like to do this-
it will be greatly appreciated.

For the Newcomers to the list, feel free to come along and see what
Baronial War training is. There is heavy fighting, combat archery,
banner bearing, it’s a social occasion and a good place for learning.

In response to many questions- yes the Baronial War Training will
continue once a month after Festival.
