Not only did I really agree with the statement in the minutes - that it felt more like a demo, and I wanted it to be a revel, not a demo, as it feels like I'm on display at a demo, which I don't like unless I'm specifically in "demo mode" - but it's harder to hold a fight practice with so many people walking around. We had to be very careful whilst fighting to make sure that bystanders didn't get hit. In order to run a practice at such a busy park, we would need to have at least one marshal watching the perimeter, on top of people fighting. We just don't have enough fighters to do that every weekend, and it would be detrimental to Cynnabar rapier. What if we only have two fencers, or four fencers, who want to pair off and fight? We wouldn't be able to at Gallup Park as we would at Island Park. We're not going to set up a huge listfield each practice. And the benefit of fighting outside has always been the amount of space we have, so that we're not restricted into a couple tiny listfields, as we are in the Union, and as we would be at Gallup Park. At Island Park, I have the space to set up weird tournaments all over the grass, and I just don't see that happening at Gallup as easily.<br><div><br></div><div>So, no, please don't move fight practice.
