Come one, come all, to another...


Cheshire Archers Gathering
and Drill Practice

Sunday, 21 October 2007
3 PM until dark-ish


Site: The Park Near Jack's House, 1110 Colby St, Madison
(See below for directions)


(Note: Please be sure to read and heed the disclaimer at the bottom 
of this notice.)


* Have fun shooting with friends!
* No armor required!
* A Great chance to try out Combat Archery!
* Loaner bows and arrows available
* See ideas and options for making armor and other gear

Please join us for a lovely afternoon of fun and frolic in the autumn sun!

This will be our first real "drill" practice - yes, that means a bit 
of marching around, but it also means moving and shooting together 
*as a unit*, which is a real blast!

After drill practice, we may do some "pick up" shooting or other
scenarios briefly, as folks are interested.

We may also  work on making combat arrows, finishing up ones that 
were started previously.  We also will be discussing other projects 
we might want to work on over the winter - making armor, making 
shields, etc.

If you know anyone who might be interested in trying this out,
please feel free to pass this along to them... the more the merrier!


Directions to Jack's Place:  (1110 Colby St, Madison)

Take your best route to John Nolen Drive, headed toward the Alliant 
Energy Center (Coliseum)...

 From the North: Drive south on John Nolen from the area of Monona 
Terrace and cross Monona Bay.  After passing the park you will hit a 
stoplight. This is Lakeside Street, turn right.  Follow directions 
below from Lakeside St.

 From the South: Exiting on John Nolen from the Beltline, go past the 
Alliant Energy Center (Coliseum).  The first stoplight is Olin Ave; 
go past this to the second stoplight, which is Lakeside Ave.   Turn 
left onto Lakeside, and follow directions below.

Once on Lakeside:  Heading west on Lakeside (toward Park St), the 
second street on the left is Colby Street; turn onto Colby.  1110 is 
at the top of the hill on the right, a one-story white house with 
black trim, a small front porch, and a garden out front.

For those who might be travelling by bus, we are just off Route #13, 
a block and a half from the "Wingra/Olin" stop.  Be aware that Route 
#13 has limited weekend service.  Check with Madison metro or give me 
a call for more info.)

Oh, and one last note: Please come in the *side* door; we don't use 
the front door much, and we'll be mostly gathering in the living room.

If you need help or get lost on the way, the house number is 257-1082.
