There is no better way to start the year than fighting with your friends After enjoying the hospitality of the Shire of Burning Sands on Saturday, stick around and launch your New Year’s resolution to stay on the field fighting all war long.  The site is an open field with plenty of room for Heavy and Rapier scenarios with the capability of combat archery and RBG at marshals’ discretion.  Don’t miss out!    

Finally, for those seeking to stay the night prior or after, the site is centrally located between several different hotels so you will have no shortage of options for a place to rest your weary head and be fresh for war practice the next day. Yuma Palms Mall is nearby, offering many options for eating out.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
