Reminder: No Longsword Class Sunday Feb 25
Quick reminder - Lionheart’s fencing floor will be in use for a sport fencing tournament this Sunday, so we will NOT be holding our usual 1pm and 2:30pm longsword classes. Anyone wanting a “make up” is welcome to join us on Thursday night for our open floor time from 5 to 6:30pm.
We’ll see everyone back at our usual practice times on March 3.

Santee Historical - Rain Delay!
Our scheduled medieval fencing event at Santee Historical Society, planned for Saturday Feb 3, has been postponed on account of the epic amount of rain in the forecast for this weekend.
The new 🤞🏻date is March 23. Mark your calendars and keep an eye open for more information at that date approaches (and there is no rain in the forecast, we hope!).

Hey friends,
We mentioned on Sunday that we were coordinating a sword-fighting demo on March 25 as part of the premier of the new D&D action/comedy movie.
Unfortunately, that demonstration didn’t work out (no, the space between the front row of seats in the theatre and the expensive movie screen is -not- enough space for us to do a fencing match) but … the folks arranging the premier were very appreciative of our attempt to work with them, and are offering us a limited number of FREE MOVIE PASSES! 😁
If you want to go see this new movie at the Edwards Mira Mesa theatre (11 am, Saturday March 25) send Scott an email or private message ([email protected]) and he’ll send you the link to get a free pair of tickets. (While supplies last, as they say!) Enjoy!
