Work Sessions


Nothing is accomplished without some sort of effort.   


That is why the Sword Tag Society sets aside Sundays for work sessions in order for the group to accomplish some goals as a group, upkeep facilities, or help out in the community.



Practice


As with anything, practice makes perfect. 


Every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm,  the group gathers at practices to work on society things or just for some simple fun and camaraderie.  During the cold winter months or on rainy days this time is spent armoring, crafting weapons or other items, and occasionally playing board games.  When the weather is more cooperative time is spent practicing and honing skills in medieval combat and playing team-building games such as Ring of Steel, Infection, and Capture the Flag.


*Sundays subject to changing into a practice day if the demand is there.

Trips


Throughout the year the Sword Tag Society goes on camping trips and outings.


Each year the group goes on four major, weekend-long, camping trips.  In April, during the King's Spring Tournament, a series of double-elimination competitions that include chess, three-man melee, an archery contest, and a mixed weapons bout.  In June, August, and September, the teams take their turn going on adventures and playing out an ongoing story.

 

A few times a year the organization will go on day trips including trips to amusement parks, a renaissance faire, paintball, and even a tubing trip down the river.
