[i]I’m keen to get people together this weekend for some LARP combat practice. I spent the weekend in Auckland and have seen how some of the west Auckland group run their regular, weekly practices. I learnt a whole lot and had a whole bunch of fun. It gave me a lot of ideas for drills and the benefit of having a bit of structure to these sorts of things.
Ideally we’d need a bunch of 60cm round shields (and any other shields for that matter) to really up-skill like what I’ve seen amongst the Auckland crowd, but I’d still like to get people out practising with what we can get our hands on.
To that end, we’ll be in the Dell (The botanic gardens) at 10am this Sunday for a practice. It would be great to see people along, with shields and weapons if you have them.
If the weather is bollocks, I’ll post here an hour beforehand and make a call about whether we go ahead or not. Be awesome to see y’all there, RSVPs would be good so we have an idea on who to expect and whether you have your own gear to bring with you.[/i]
