Hello, Debatable Lands!
Starting this Sunday (November 1st), our armored and fencing practices will move indoors until springtime (November 1st through April 18th). Practices will be from 1-5pm. Location is Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training, 5372 Enterprise Blvd, Bethel Park, PA 15102 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/W7MwzGsYfCKMq91v5).
Two additional scheduling notes: Archery will still be outside this Sunday, and November 15th is the Harvest Revel at The Castle, and armored/fencing practice will be there that day.
There will be a few changes compared to last year:
1) Cleanup! We’ve been asked to do more cleanup at the end of practices, due to tracking dust in from the storage room. Last year we vacuumed the gym area. In addition, we’ll mop the gym floor that we use, and wipe down the bathroom as appropriate. Please keep that in mind, and if you can stay, stick around to help with cleanup at the end of practices.
2) We’ve been asked to use the rear entrance to minimize mess from tracking in snow, etc. I’ll post signs and the front door will be locked. Instead, we’ll use the door furthest down on the right side of the building.
3) The gym owner has asked us to keep the last few racks open for gym employees to use. That will cut down on our usable area a bit, so more of the fighting will have to occur in the storage room. We’ll have a bit less room for fighting, but should still have plenty of room for 3-5 pairs at a time, likely more.
