War is coming and it is time to rally the troops! Join us for melee training and martial practice. We will have authorizations for heavy, rapier fighters and siege engineers. Ranges will be set up for archery and thrown weapons. Youth authorizations and fighting will be scheduled as well. In addition to the martial activities we will set aside shaded area for a fiber solar, a scriptorium and general A&S.

Come out and spend the weekend finishing projects for Pennsic, testing out your camp set up and getting ready to head to war.
