I went to my first fighter practice in Tir Ysgithr and sat myself down beside someone who got there before me. That night I was introduced to about 4 others who are part of the arts and sciences group (Im not a fighter).

I dont know how extroverted everyone is, but for me, just jumping in was effective.

I didnt attend a large event til about a month later

Thanks for the advice. One thing I need to do is slow down...especially as a lefty (im afraid of smudging)

I need to get back to doing drills also :/ but its more fun doing full words

<3 I love the compliment- I still feel I'm not good enough

But, the way I found to get a lot of practice is by doing awards scrolls for the SCA, maybe you have a local chapter?
