(Event Cancelled) Canale Meet and Beat

Unto the amazing populace, Meet and Beat 2020 (June 6) has been CANCELLED - as of this morning the hosting ranch has sent out word that they are pulling all 2020 events off the calendar. The owner of the ranch is an amazing individual that works with the SCA a lot and sends their most sincere apologies. We are hopeful to reschedule the event with them at a later date. I am sad to say we will NOT be looking for a second site. With the current climate and uncertainty of the world the staff and myself have chosen to hold off even rescheduling for now. We will likely be looking at a June 2021 date and if you are all still interested in participating (teaching, being a student, just watching) at that time I would love to have you come join us. If the current pandemic lifts and we are clear for a fall event there is the possibility we can sneak a Meet and Beat together this fall. This idea will be on hold and not planned till the Kingdom, the state, and the CDC lift restrictions. Thank you and hope this finds all of you safe and well, Sir Helga ********************************

So, you’re a fighter, huh? Do you enjoy learning a new Arts and Science skill? Want to teach? Then get off the couch, throw your armor, your friend, your drink of choice, and a peer in the car with you! Meet-and-beat is here! This time, Canale is hosting!

This event is built to promote and encourage training in and out of armor for heavy and rapier, as well as promoting Arts and Sciences fun! There will be many knights, teachers, and trainers there to help those that make the journey to join the day.

How the day is planned: The first half of the day will be divided into several 60 min classes. There will be class tracks for heavy fighting, arts and sciences, and rapier.

Period 1 classes will start at 10:30 am, followed by period 2 starting at 11:30 am. Don’t be late!

After the classes, there will be a 1 hour break so that people can grab a bite to eat and before settling in for more classes or getting in armor. There will be a donation lunch that is set up with easy to grab and go food. This lunch is sponsored by Canale, all proceeds go back to the group.

Heavy/Rapier Fighters: After lunch, it is time to put those things learned earlier in the day into practice. This will be done as an open format fighter practice where everyone can train together fast or slow, in or out of armor. It is highly encouraged for students and teachers to talk about what they are learning or teaching in a less formal format.

Arts and Sciences: There are classes that will be going on throughout the day, please come and join for A&S learning and fun!

*The Challenge: If you are an unbelt, attending - get there! This will be amazing training and open formatted fighting opportunity where you can push yourself and your friends. The challenge is to get a knight or another fighter to join you! The more the merrier!

If you are a Knight or a Master of Defense - Come teach, watch, fight, give commentary, heck come for the food! However, come and support the other knights and “unbelts” as they are pushing to better themselves.

So for some training with knights and food, come to Canale.

Heavy: Helga (Ariah Hume)
Rapier and A&S: Else Hunrvogt
