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.

	Tor definitely stays for the Bonfire. He brought some extra whiskey to pass around and definitely leads the team in singing some scottish songs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Joy has some trouble thinking of traditional Aussie songs that aren't a) drinking songs, b) full of swearing, c) both. (She appreciates that Laddie has a nationally recognised foul mouth, but she feels like she's letting her country down somehow.) But she will eventually manage to dredge up some wholesome things like "Click go the shears" and "Road to Gundagai". And, yes, that delightful traditional song about sheep-rustling and escaping the law through suicide. ;)

She will also, if a quieter moment presents itself, teach Laddie the traditional Aboriginal lullaby, Inanay.
