Good Gentles of Ostgardr,

I am happy to announce the start of our very own indoor fight practice. It is bad enough that I am getting old and out of shape, I really can't afford to keep neglecting practice also. So I encourage you all to come out to BrokenBridge to swing some sticks with us. To make it easier for folks that are a bit farther out, we will be holding practice on Sundays at 11am.

Site is a large warehouse, there is tons of room, even polearms are fine.
Site is 2-3 blocks from the N train stop (59th St)
Has plenty of parking, in a guarded lot
Fighters will be allowed to leave armor/weapons/whatever in the warehouse if they don't want to transport them each week.
There are bathrooms and a drinking fountain readily available.
Because of regularly spaced cement columns, melees are less than ideal, but still possible.
Plenty of chairs
No floor fees

There are only two issues.
The warehouse is under-heated. It is still good for fighting, but we may want to use the (well heated) office to change. Just don't stink it up too badly....
As stated, this is a guarded parking lot. To get in, tell the gate guard that you are going to a meeting at Quality Conservation. (Bldg A, unit 8M) If you mention anything about SCA, or fight practice, or such... it will just really confuse them.

Non fighters are also encouraged to come out and visit. You can stay in the office and chat/sew/whatever, or use the warehouse space for any other useful endeavor. Note, while there is plenty of space, it is a warehouse. It isn't dirty, but it isn't exactly clean either.

There is a large selection of restaurants within walking distance if people want to head somewhere afterwards.

Quality Conservation
140 58th St
Bldg A Unit 8M
Brooklyn NY 11220

The only entrance is on the corner of 58th and 1st.
As you enter, Building A is on the right (near the water)
Walking in: You don't really need to check with the gate guard. You will be able to see the front doors. Enter, wave/talk to the guard, and head down the hall to the elevators. Take them to the 8th floor, and turn left.
Driving in: Talk to the nice guard, turn right down the 'hill'. At the bottom, you will curve left, and there will be a large rust colored awning. Under the awning is a door.
After parking, go through that door, about 50' down on the left is a door to the elevators. Take one to the 8th floor and turn left.

If  you have any questions, please feel free to ask. This email address is the best way for you to contact me at this point..

We will be fighting on Feb 10.   You should go, all the cool kids are doing it.

If folks also want to practice this Sunday (Superbowl Sunday) Speak up now. If we can get more than a couple, then we can start this week

Feel free to post this to any other lists that may have interested people.
