Locations for archery practice have been secured, but the barony still needs an archery marshal. In the meantime, I have coordinated with the Shire of Ffynnon Gath for their All The Things Practice. Archers from Bryn Gwlad will be able to shoot at ATTP. The next practice is May The Fourth.

I am mentoring her and helping her to plan the shoot and run the range for Bjornsborg's Spring Event in April 2025. We are setting up marshal training sessions so that she can get experience calling the line as well as inspecting equipment. In the meantime, I have coordinated with the Shire of Ffynnon Gath for their All The Things Practice. Archers from Bjornsborg will be able to shoot at ATTP. The next practice is May The Fourth.
