Announcements
Meeting Site Information
Starting July 14th, we will hold all meetings (and rapier practice) at the Oakeshott Institute, 1035 14th Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414 (map)
The Oakeshott Institute building is an old church that is being refurbished into a museum and teaching space. We're very excited about this partnership -- the mission of The Oakeshott is very complimentary to our own. There is limited off-street parking off of the building's driveway, plus on-street parking. The meeting during the first week of the month is our moot (garb encouraged, not required). The third week is the business meeting (usually 30-40 minutes of the night) Every week has announcements, show and tell, rapier practice, social gathering, etc.
