Looking for a place for Rennaisance fencing

[benign-cremator.livejournal.com]

Greetings, all;

I am looking to start teaching a friend of mine historic or Renaissance fencing (think Three Musketeers or rapier and dagger fencing), but need a location within which to fence.  So I am searching for indoor spaces that can be used for this.  Our needs are:

1:  Indoor, on account of the weather
2:  High-ish ceilings, since our blades are up to 4' long and there are attacks that swing over the head
3:  Large, empty floor space (at least 14' x 15') with a smooth, rigid floor surface. 
      Wooden floors are ideal, since they have a bit of flex to them, rugs are not so good, but it depends more upon what is under them.  Concrete floors are bad, as in, makes it more likely to injure ones knees.
4:  Venue owner understands that we will be pursuing an athletic activity that is a martial art.
5:  The space is reasonably inexpensive.  Right now, there are only 2 of us.  It may grow to be as many as 4 or 5 in the future, but that is still a narrow base over which to share costs.
6:  Rooms to change into and out of athletic clothing.  Restrooms are ok.
7:  Both of us are local to Davis Square, and something close by would be nice.

I am already asking amongst the local fencing sallets, but have found their schedules to be very full already.  Also, we know about fencing in the SCA (we are refugees from their politics) and the Higgins Armory (too long of a drive for a week night, and their schedules on weekends is busy).  However, if anyone knows of any other solution, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

Have about 10 pretty decent wooden bar stools out back at 219 Elm Street. Free to take! There is also a vacuum cleaner that works but has no bags.

Enjoy!


All gone! Enjoy!

Saturday January 28th my husband's wedding ring went missing. It might have been lost at Highland Kitchen or on our walk home from there (Highland Ave between Central and Cedar). The ring is titanium and gold striped.

Recommendations for reliable, affordable Craigslist movers?

[davisdenizen.livejournal.com]

I created this account in 2006, but this is the first time I'm posting, though I've followed and enjoyed this community faithfully for years! I've used small-item delivery people for items bought on Craigslist a couple of times, but haven't always been totally satisfied and it's so hard to know from the listings who is or isn't reliable.

I hope this is relevant -- I do live in Davis and I assume other car-free residents who live around here sometimes have this question about how to get purchases home. I checked the tags and the closest I could find was "moving" but that seems to be more for moving house rather than a single item.

So does anyone have a good rec for a single-item mover? I need to move an armchair and hassock from a second floor in Concord to a first floor in Davis and would like to find someone reliable and who won't charge me an arm and a leg. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and feel free also to PM me!
