Big practice, but half as big as it could have been!

Last night's practice was great. We got three of our four new guys in armor for the first time, and they all did great. Special thanks to Kelby and Aethelwolf for the patience in working with these guys their first time out.

Daniel also armored up again for the first time in quite a while, and Aloisius was, I believe, entirely armored in gear that was his (with just a bit of borrowed stuff) for the first time.

All in all, last night we had 

• Aethelwolf
• Kelby
• Aloisious
• Adilric
• Eric
• Daniel
• The new guys:
  • John
  • David
  • Ross
• Helping out
  • Sev
  • Bubba
• Coaching:
  • Corby
• Missing Regulars
  
  • Philip
  • Jeremy
  • Andrew
  • Sebastian
  • Victor

Holy crap. If everyone armored up (which is currently impossible because we have to swap a bunch of gear) that would be seventeen people in armor! Oh, and again for those doom sayers who opine that armored combatants are "greying": Only three people on that list are over 25. Actually, I'm pretty sure all but three of them are under 23.

There was talk about melees last night, but it seems a bit early to be throwing new guys into that. Maybe in another week!
