[Nordskogen] indoor site for armoured combat, rapier, and even archery in Elko New Market, Minnesota

[Aaron Rusty Lloyd]

A specific note here:

I am 100% positive that we are not halting any established practice, 
merely adding a new one to the schedule. This one would be on Sundays in 
the Southern Twin Cities, hosted by Lady Simonis. She is trying very 
hard to add additional weekly practices for folks to fight, and has been 
searching for an indoor site for a while now.

There will be no change to the Wednesday practices. Actually, we may be 
adding a heavy practice there as well.

That said, your first two points are well taken and we will work to make 
sure we have warmth and cleanliness for the Sunday practice.

In service,

Buckminster

You look to maybe giving up a secure, well heated, well lighted fighting area with well heated, well lighted classrooms complete with desks and chairs and a free secure storage area for equipment Did I mention this was a free site for someone's private land which they can evict you from without notice causing you to loose everything for the the deal that was to good to be true.
