Meeting Space

We have an *interim* meeting space for A&S and outdoor martial activities. St. Athanasius on Staples Mill rd in Henrico is a converted home. The living/dining room has been renovated into one large room that is a little larger than the library at St. Albans. There’s a back porch as well. The back yard is large, but I didn’t get a good chance to examine how appropriate it is for practice. It might not be level enough for safe footing. The parking lot is gravel and they have had 60 people there before. The lot isn’t roomy, but it is probably sufficient. But in the meantime, it’s a reasonable space. So we will meet there. This coming Tuesday and see what people think. In the meantime, the search continues for a space with indoor practice facilities. 10811 Staples Mill Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060.
