As of right now, we are planning to have practice on 07/05/26. I may or may not be there due to some non-SCA issues that have come up this week, The same is true of the loaner gear. If I am able to attend, I will bring it, if not, there may not be loaner gear available.
I have arranged for other Marshals to be on site and run practice in my stead, so there will be practice in the usual place at the usual time unless the heat index exceeds the safety guidelines noted below.
This is also a reminder that, per Society Regulations, as the Kingdom Earl Marshal was kind enough to remind us this week, practice, and all other marital activities can and will be canceled and/or stopped if the Heat Index is over 103, for safety reasons. I keep the NIOSH Heat Index app on my phone for this reason, and WILL be checking.
Regardless, remember to bring something to keep yourself hydrated, appropriate clothing for the heat, sunscreen, a place to sit, and additional shade if you need it.
I want to practice and acclimate to the heat for Pennsic as much as anyone out there, but I will not hold a practice at heat levels deemed unsafe.
YIS,
