I have heard some people mention that they would be interested in having the occasional practice with more varied terrain to work into battle strategies. For those people, I would like to suggest Swinney Park West. The park is split into two halves, one on each side of the river. The western half, (the one with the public pool) has terrain that would be good for Dagorhir battles, including: a shallow stream with two low cement bridges for bridge battles lots of trees & hills for fighters to hide behind a small pond to be integrated into melee battle strategies clumps of bushes and wooded areas as well as open areas to allow large-scale melee fights Swinney Park West usually has fewer people using it than Shoaff Park, and is easily accessible from Jefferson Ave. Directions Here

I'm all for it, we seriously need to change up things instead of just having open field battles all the time.

Why don't we plan on having the practice on Sunday August 9th at Swinney Park West. That should give everyone a chance to hear about the change of location.
Could people make a point of mentioning it or announcing it at practice this Wednesday and Sunday, for those who do not have web access or do not read the forums?
There is plenty of parking. I believe there is a pavilion, though I am not sure where in the park it is located.

If I'm thinking of the right spot there is also parking on the street side just over a wall, good spot for the loaner weapons.

I say we go one idea at a time and give them both a try. Let's try out Swinney Park and see what we think and then try Em's house. Besides, it would be nice to know our opinions of Swinney for when Em goes back to school and we lose the option of her house entirely.
