Welcome back from Pennsic to everyone who went!

From their Excellencies:

Hello!  Welcome to this month’s meeting.  Last month was pretty busy!  We are almost unpacked from Pennsic and hope that you are too.  Her Excellency attended Battle on the Bay last weekend and got to enjoy the horses.  Stierbach was very well represented on the rapier field.  It was a wonderful event and very very fun.  

His Excellency made an appearance at the Battle Barn.  It was a great practice!  His Excellency also made it Grimm’s Field for the Labor Day practice.  


A Progress has been posted for the next six months.  Please come see us and say “Hi” when you do.
