Archers of the Debatable Lands,
As you’ve no doubt already heard, this Sunday a new list will be added to the Stellar Tourney! We have a Defender of the Sun and a Defender of the Moon. Now we seek to name a Defender of the Sky! And who better to defend the sky than the archers?
Join us at the Washington Boulevard site on Sunday August 15th at 11:00am as we hold our usual practice. Then around 12:45 we will shut down the range and begin the tournament at 1:00pm. All are welcome to compete!
The format of the Sky List tournament (like the format for all of our archery championships) is a surprise and the targets and rules will be different every month, so be ready for anything. See if you have what it takes to become the Debatable Lands Defender of the Sky!
If you have any questions or if you would like to request loaner gear please email me at archerymarshal (at) debatablelands (dot) org.
Yours in service,
Rónán Ó Conaill
Captain of Archers

The next sewing circle will be Thursday Aug 19, online, starting at 7:30. I’m going back to online sewing circle due to recent increased infection rates and masking recommendations. I will take in-person sewing visits by appointment only. But the sewing will go on! I moved to the third Thursday this month and next month due to vacation schedule of many people including myself. If you are planning on going to crown tourney and made something special for it, some show it off. If you have any questions email sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org.
