Indoor Armored Combat and Rapier Practice
Every Tuesday from 6pm until 9pm from the first of November until the last day of April.
Location is The Remnant Shop at 1081 Main St, Hope Valley, RI 02832-1610, United States
We will be meeting on the second floor of the Remnant Shop. This is an old Bank building and has a nice open space on the second floor with about 4 meter high ceilings. Polearm and spear are no problem with that much overhead space. Sometimes we run two on two matches, but there are windows around the fighting area, so we usually stay to just singles practice. Enter through the side door that opens onto Main Street. The stairs will be directly in front of you. Please wear non-marking shoes. It is a painted wood floor, so we cannot kneel while wearing hard knee armor. A bathroom is available, but you should bring your own drinking water. The space is inside, but not heated. It is usually just a bit warmer than outside, so bring a jacket or something to keep warm in if you are not planning to be fighting. There is space and tables and chairs for A&S and socializing.
A donation of $5 per person will be collected for the site. 100% of this fee goes to the site owner. We have also been trying to collect used books to donate to the site to keep our site rental costs down. If you have books you no longer want, bring them with you and it will help.
Loaner gear for Armored Combat and Rapier is available, but needs to be prearranged, since it is not stored at this location. Contact Ælfwine or Vitalia with any questions.
We make every effort to keep this practice happening every week, but sometimes we don’t have a Marshal, or it is a holiday, or the site is just unavailable. To be on the safe side, watch for announcements on the Bridge announcement email list and check the Calendar to make sure it is happening before you drive here.
