Many of us were planning practice today at the Bradshaw field. I wasn't trying to leave anyone out when I suggested this. It's just that Bradshaw field is so much more convenient for the majority of the fighters in our realm, especially the ones in college without a ride to the park. Not to mention closer to those who do have a car.
Also, in practicing at the field, we can be a little more loud, obnoxious, and boisterous without having to worry about shitty suburbanites calling the cops on us for having our shirts off or dropping an F-Bomb, or whatever silly nonsense they deem is against the law this week. The other benefit of playing so close to the college is that we can attract more people who are interested. The only people around Marr Park are old people, parents, and prosta-tots. Here at the college, people will see us fighting and want to know what is going on and how to join! Just from Pat's half assed realm doing it there he got like 4 people to join, just random people passing by. Think of what a full fledged realm could do!
Regardless of popular belief, we will not have campus security called on us, and add to the fact that we are all waivered, should make this a none issure. Bradshaw field is more of a city park than college park. People come there to do anything form wrestle to walk their dog, to ultimate frisbee. Pat's chapter played full out dag on the empty football stadium 2 or 3 times a week, nothing and no one had a problem with it. No one is going to have a problem with us playing at a far out side field.
I really think practicing at the Bradshaw field is a step forward for this realm, regardless of being affiliated with the college or not. The only reason we ever have to get permission from the college to practice is if it is inside a college building. Anywhere outside is deemed a "personal hobby" and doesn't require us to make official clubs or anything. Hell even in the multipurpose building you don't need to be a college student to use the gym.
Bradshaw field is bigger, has a year round water fountain, has a field drainage so the grass isn't soggy all the time, has these neat four posts marked out that would make an excellent arena for gladiator fights and such, and on top of it all, has plenty of parking space deemed a 'Vistor' parking lot, so no one needs student tags.
The only problem I can see is the lack of boundaries to mark off 'end of the world' as the field is very vast. Normally it would be advisable to meet next to the corner posts, (They're easy to spot right from the parking lot) and use the parking lot and the side trees as two boundaries, but we'll have to figure out something for the other two.
Edit: forgot to mention, Pat started doing fencing again, so he quit running his chapter... What a douche, As soon as it isn't all about him anymore he gets out... Anyway, a few guys form his chapter are interested in a real dagorhir realm, so please please please be nice to these guys and try to make them feel comfortable. As much fun as newbie bashing and initiations are, it doesn't help us recruit or improve our reputation. If these two guys join, they'll convince their other buddies to join and hopefully we can get back above 20 regular members at practice every week.

See, I like this bit about "over 20 people". We definitely need to bring in some new blood. Also, as Kye and I have discussed, and he's discussed with Zan, it wouldn't hurt us to switch up the parks every once in a while. Even if it alternates between the two parks or you switch it altogether. I've grown to like Marr Park, but that doesn't mean we have to stay there all the time. Let's get out there, be visible, do what we need to do to grow. When we start having a turnout that keeps other realms from giggling at the thought of raiding us, then we can move back to Marr.

By the way, Stevi has altogether stopped taking me to any field, regardless of it's location, and on top of that, is extremely reluctant to let me use her phone. Anyone who is having practice today and any other time, can you PLEASE come by my room and get me, and try to communicate via the web to me somehow?
I have skype, msn, these boards, and email. Please don't leave me behind!

Well I got left behind. Stevi refused to take me to the field. Kye wouldn't pick up his phone.
I really hope we have practice this Saturday. Everyone on here, PLEASE come to practice this Saturday, and Kye, if I don't call yuo and tell you NOT to come, can you please come take me to the field?
One of the reasons we were having practice at Bradshaw field was for the people who don't have rides. And the newbies who were planning on showing up today.

How about we spread the word. Everyone meet at the bradshaw field this Saturday at 12 noon
It's located behind the Multi-Purpose building. Meet over by the 4 posts sticking up out of the ground
I'm in favor of having every practice here, but we'll talk about it this Saturday
