We will not be having Armored Practice on Sunday, 04/19/2026. There is a Region 2 Regional Muster at the YMCA at 111 Park St. Franklin PA, 16323 from 9A-3P. Instead of our usual practice, we will be there. All are welcome! Fencing will still be at the normal place and time, Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training, 5372 Enterprise Blvd, Bethel Park, PA 15102. We return to outdoor practices at the parklet at the intersection of Washington Blvd. and Allegheny River Blvd. the following Sunday, 04/24/2026.

This Sunday’s Practice, on 04/12/26 will start at 2 PM, rather than the usual 1PM start time, as there is an event at the gym that runs until 1:30.

Hey folks, due to an event the gym is running this Sunday, we’ll be starting practice 1 hour later than normal (2pm instead of 1pm), to give them time to wrap up before we start. Please spread the word!

The next business meeting is Wednesday, April 8 at 8pm. It will be held both in person and online. If you want to attend in person, the address is 1105 Shady Ave, Pittsburgh, 15232. If you prefer to attend online, here is the link for google meet: https://meet.google.com/bps-cmvu-zgc. Here is the agenda for the meeting. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W5LLbS4YxXGwq_yqidFdanXFOkRbnNs-/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100952935535046524485&rtpof=true&sd=true

Hello Brewers and Friends,

We need to get some brew play days on the books if we are rolling out for Pennsic; Do we need bottling days for War Practice?

We can look at scheduled plan all grain days, plan bottling days, and we still need to do some sekanjabin / shrubs to round out our offerings!

Thursday 7 pm, there is a local brewer with some fruited sours over here called Fermata Brewing Company. They do NOT have food.

Please think about if you have the time / space to be a project leader and look at your schedule. I know we have Coronation and an Archery/Fencing Muster coming up. That last weekend of April is looking pretty choice!

In Service,

Salve Accolens! Your Baronial A&S Champion issues forth the following challenge:

At this year’s Iris Festival, we will be hosting an A&S competition as part of the Iron Comet Challenge! Participation in the A&S competition is mandatory for a chance to win the coveted Iron Comet. While your blades ring true on the fencing and heavy lists, as bows loose and weapons fly on the archery and thrown ranges, our judges will assess your skills in the gentler arts. 

Never participated in A&S before? Now’s your chance! We welcome competitors of all skill levels and will only be offering constructive feedback upon request. Documentation of project inspiration, methods, and materials can take the form of a one-page EZ-Doc form or a research paper. See link below for EZ-Doc forms.

To showcase our artisans, we will also be hosting a separate non-competitive display open to all attendees. All A&S entries for Iron Comet and the display will also be eligible for a separate populace choice award for an additional prize!

Enjoy!

Fencing practice will be running as normal this Sunday (April 5th) at our regular winter site. Thank you to Master Clewin for volunteering to run practice this week!

Due to Sunday 04/05/2026 being Easter, and many of our marshals and usual attendees having family obligations, or not being in town there will be no armored combat practice on Sunday 04/05/2026.
