SHIRE FIGHTER PRACTICE

The populace of the shire regularly gather to conduct classes on period combat and practice our skills.  Please contact the Shire's Knight Marshal for exact times, to verify weather/attendance, or to arrange to borrow armour.  If you would like to receive regular updates on fighting-related activities, please contact the Knight Marshal to subscribe to his private mailing list...

Our regular practices are held on Tuesdays and Sundays in Basingstoke.

The Tuesday practice is from about 8pm to 10pm at the Oakridge Methodist Hall, Vivian Road, Oakridge, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG21 5LG.  The cost for the site is £5 per person (depending on numbers, and first time attendees & visitors are free). Directions: Make your way to the glorious Basingstoke ring road then turn off at the A33 Reading junction. On the roundabout at the top take the turn to Oakridge. Drive carefully through the new, rather dangerous, traffic calming measures and take the first left. The church hall is a short way ahead of you on the right hand side. There is a car park in front of the hall. (If you find a turn to the shops you've gone too far!).  You can find an online map here. The practice hall is on Vivian road approximately opposite Coleman Close...

The Sunday practice is from 10am to noon at the Rucstall Community Centre, Holbein Close, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 3QN.  The site is a small hall, with stage (please use the stage for armouring), next to "Raj of Blackdam" as shown below. The cost for the site is £20 a week (£10 an hour), which is split across the participants each week.  Directions: From the M3, take exit 6 and head north.  At the first traffic circle, take the first exit going west on A30/Ringway South.  At the next traffic circle take the first exit, going south on A339/Hackwood Road.  At the next traffic circle, take the first exit going east on Grove Road.  Follow Grove Road around the curve to the right, and the next left is Holbein Close.  You can find an online map here.

Unfortunately, our practices do not accommodate archery or thrown weapons at this time...
