Hi everyone! Its Jasmine, back brakes on my car are really bad and I can’t get it into the shop until Monday. I am trying my hardest to not to drive my car until then. Because of that, I am canceling practice tomorrow. See everyone on March 10th.
Hello,
There will be fight practice at the Pittsburgh Chinese Church, on March 3, from 2 til 6 PM.
Loaner armor will be available.

If you are interested in helping to create targets for the shoot off the castle parapets, the theme is werewolves! or anything else you would like to add to the mix. Please bring your targets to site so they can be added to the hill before 1 pm.
Also if you are not going to Coronation, Lady Katheryn Täntzel will be going to the castle that Saturday, the day before the muster, to help clean up the hill to make our day of archery be that much more awesome! She will be there around 11am to clean up the hill, any additional help is welcome.
