What goes on at Fight practice:
The shire fight practice is dominated by the shire fighters practicing their various fighting skills, and help new members who are intrested to learn to fight using Rattan swords, in accordance to SCA rules. However that is not all that occurs at fight practice, it is a time for local members to gather together and discuss shire news, event news, as well as various arts and sciences such as history, culture, music, dance, mock combat, fencing, archery, armoring, heraldry, embroidery, costuming, calligraphy, cooking and brewing - just to name a few.
