While regular classes are on hiatas over the summer, we're not going to seed. Matt, David, Chantelle and I got together for some sparring practice on Wednesday, on the spacious lawn outside Chantelle's studio. We just played "King of the hill" for about 90 minutes, which worked out really well for the four of us: we cycled through quite quickly, so everyone got plenty of fencing, and the mix of abilities was such that everyone spent some time staying in.
With some impromptu fighting like this, plus regular Sunday practices, hopefully we can get into combat readiness for Canterbury Faire.
