Greetings to all my friends in MIttlemarch!
I wanted to give you all a head's up about a new event that will be at Spring Valley this coming May. It is being called the Fighter's Academy, and is being run by Magnus of Taurendor.
Here is some of the information. I hope you all can come out and enjoy the fighting, the classes, and the nightlife.
"We will be offering training in essentially all commonly-used melee weapon forms in Dagorhir, including
-Sword and Shield
-Polearm
-Great weapon
-Two-sword
As well as a number of other technical aspects of fighting, such as
-Footwork
-Teamwork
-Battlefield awareness
-Fitness and body mechanics
Dates: May 29th to 31st
Location: Spring Valley Campground, Cambridge, OH (NOT a dry site, YAY!)

After dinner, weapon construction demonstrations in the main pavilion--swords, shields, javelins, spears, you name it.
Go to bed at normal quiet hour (gotta get sleep for the next day)
