Fighter Practices
At the start of 2008, the Shire has 4 heavy fighters, and 7 fencers. Fighter practices are (almost) every Wednesday, alternating between heavy and fencing. In clement weather, there will be Fighting in the Park to lure in yet more. Please contact the Heavy or Fencing Marshall for more information.
Limited crash space can be found for people coming from long distances. Practices are held at St Samson's Hall, Pentre Gardens, Grangetown, Cardiff CF11 6QJ, from 18.00 to 20.00. Cost is UKP2.50, but your first practice is free.
