More Amtgard for Colorado - 2007/08/10 03:10 After much discussion and reminiscing, Sir Guy and I have decided to maintain a park for Amtgard in the Aurora/Englewood area of the Denver Metro (specifically, Southmoor Park at Poplar and Hampden).
This is by no means a new chapter; however we will have a specific philosophical ideal and intend to refer to ourselves as “Castra Hiberna” (Winter Camp).
Aside from providing a park closer to home for some Amtgardians, Sir Guy and I intend to foster a climate that recalls the Amtgard of our youth.
This does not mean a return to archaic systems, but rather establishing a place for tradition-minded Amtgardians a place to peruse combat, honor and beauty in Amtgard’s modern incarnation and to provide new Amtgardians a chance to experience some of the “cultural heritage” of our shared hobby.
Currently, we plan to meet midday on Saturdays, starting August the 18th. We realize that this may create conflicts, but unfortunately mundane concerns make Sundays impossible. However, if there is enough of a demand for Sundays, accommodations can possibly be made.

Again, to be perfectly clear: We are not petitioning to be a new group. We are not looking for status as our own entity. What we are doing, in our own planned and orderly fashion, is saying: "Hey, can't make the drive to Brighton? We'll be over here if you wanna play", with a "Oh, and we're kinda old-school in our thinking" attached to it.

Re:More Amtgard for Colorado - 2007/08/10 20:34 good luck, hopefully y'all can tap into the southern denver market of foam seeking folks.

Re:More Amtgard for Colorado - 2007/08/15 22:27 "And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray... This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come."

As Sir Guy and I prepare to launch our little traditionalist project this weekend. It is important that people realize that this isn't about love for Amtgard the way it was. This is about loving Amtgard today the way we used to.

Things change, and for the better. Amtgard has grown, and thank goodness for it.

But part of Amtgard is a fondness for a fantastic past... And our past was truly fantastic.

Those of us who remember it, who lived it, want to preserve it. Not shove it down anyone's throat, but simply keep it and make it available to any and all interested persons. Maybe give them something helpful that they can take back to their home groups.

If you have something to add, come sit by the campfire and share with us. If you want to sample the old legends, pull up a seat as well.

If you want to fight in a pure style. Where the shots aren't hard, but rather true and unquestionable, we have a ditch for you.

We know a lot of you will be occupied at Crimson Dawn and unable to visit us this week (Guy and I wish we could make it as well, but sadly we will be unable to).
No worries. We will be there next week… and the week after that.
