Change in Site for Thursday Night Heavy Weapons Practices
Due to the closing of Lemon Road Elementary for the summer, starting
this Thursday, June 25th, the Thursday Night Heavy Weapons Fight Practice, will be held
outdoors at Tysons Pimmit Park behind the Tysons Pimmit Park Regional Library, weather
permitting. Practice will go from 6:00PM to about 9:00 PM or when darkness falls.
Fighter Practice Directions
Additional Baronial Open Project Days
As we approach Pennsic, Baron James and Baroness Katharine invite
the populace to attend additional open project days at their home in Ashburn, VA, on
Sunday June 7th and Sunday June 21st, from 11 am - 7 pm.
This the opportunity for you to work on making yourself or your family some garb or
fighter clothing before the big war. If you have never sewn before, please come over
and we can help you get started. If you want to fit something you already have or
modify something else, this is for you.
We have a variety of equipment / books / tools available and if you are looking for
something specific, please ask either of us. We only have one sewing machine and one
craft table, so if you want to sew and have a machine and/or a folding table it might
be a good idea to bring it, just in case.
As this will be a full day, please bring some food / snacks / drinks to share.
Thanks, and we hope to see you there!
Parking at Archery Practice
To all attending archery practice, please be aware that the parking
area between the house and the dumpster is reserved for the people living in the house.
Parking for those attending practice is next to the small doggy pen. Once that fills we
are asked to park in the grassy space inside the circle. If that is full too, you need to
go to the head in parking across from the dog gate.
Questions? Email the Stierbach Archery Marshal (ndcsive AT cox.net).
To All Heavy Weapons Fighters of Ponte Alto and Its Environs!
A reminder to those to attend marshal activities and practice
at Fairfax County Public Schools: Fairfax County Schools do not allow any form
of real weapons, even work knives, Swiss Army knives, etc., to be brought onto
school property. Please be respectful of this rule so that we may continue having
our practices at Lemon Road Elementary School. Thank you!
Archery Indoor Practice Site - Bull Run
With the downturn in the economy, the Bull Run Shooting Center will probably be cutting its hours next fall;
the latest news indicates the open hours will probably be 3pm to 5pm during the week. Their Board of Directors will be getting together soon to decide.
Stierbach's Archery Marshsl will be working the system to see what might be done, but skeet shooting is their big money maker, not archery,
so the money they make from our groups may not make much of a difference.
If anyone knows of an indoor site for next fall, please contact the Baronial Archery Marshal.
