IC/OOC: Unconventional training session
Who: Pride players (Ellie assumes Tor is invited, and last minute invites Cav)
Where: MacFusty Dragon Reserve
What: Agility drills with dragons. Lots of dodging unexpected things. Bonfire and social at the end of the night.
When: Sunday, 1 October noon and onward

The team had been instructed to arrive at the Reserve between noon and 12:30. Ellie and her sister Davina will be there to great them and direct them to where they are meeting. Their meeting location is actually the starting line for Winter Solstice Broom Race (that goes from the Reserve to Montrose -- more thoughts on this later), so there is place to set up. Also it is a reasonable area for people to be flying brooms through with managed risk.

As people are arriving, other members of the MacFusty clan are about keen to give people tours. Ellie will very happily direct people to where the young dragons nest.

At 12:30 there will be a brief team meeting going over the goals for the day before everyone takes to their brooms. Of note, neither of the seekers are present. If prompted Ellie will say they have been excused ahead of an intensive seeker training tomorrow.

At 1pm, people will take to their brooms for an afternoon of weird training drills. More about these drills below. Also please feel free to add your own.

YAAS LORNA

Meaghan is surprisingly willing to play the other positions given her insistence that keepers are best. She's got a good aggression for beater though not the best aim (aaaand probably isn't paying enough attention and nearly hits someone with the bat, aaaand maybe at one point the bat flies out of her hands because she wasn't holding it tight enough).

She has fun as chaser, because that's what she was originally trained by her mum to play, but it's been a while so there's some more stretching of rusty muscles, and a lot of thinking back to her childhood which makes her a little more distracted.

(She's glad they're not doing seekers because she would HATE to try seeker)

	There is a lot of arm gesturing and swearing from Scrimmy when Meaghan nearly whacks her with the bat (volunteering her as victim) and even more when later she LOSES THE BAT. You can't hear her during the latter but the gesturing gives a very clear message: WTF MAN!!!!! (Reply to this) (Parent)
