2011-08-01T17:33:00.001-07:00

The practice time of The Calgary realm has been changed to Sundays at 2pm in Murdock park.

We will hold our last Tuesday practice August 2nd and our first of the new weekly Sunday practices on the 7th at 2pm.

Calgary considering practice time switch.

2011-07-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

The Calgary Realm is considering a practice time switch to Sunday afternoons.

This will allow us to continue through the winter when the sun sets before our current 6:15pm practice time. I hope it will also allow more people to show up as I've heard some comments that Tuesdays don't work for some people.

To comment on this issue post to our forum thread.

2011-07-05T11:51:00.000-07:00

Chaos Wars is coming up.

Event Report!

2009-05-04T12:26:00.000-07:00

The event was a hit, a fantastic afternoon of fighting was had by all. Here are the photos from the event: Best of Event and All the photos.

2 more days, then the Battle of Strathclyde!

2009-04-30T08:14:00.000-07:00

Well... I think I am almost ready! I am really exited to see how this goes, had trouble getting to sleep last night thinking of last minute things to do! 2 more announcements about the event:

1, water, the water fountain does not work in the gym (water was never hooked up, don't know why) but I will bring some, however if you can bring a water bottle it will sure help the water go that much further (also, I am not sure if I have enough cups).

2. The Gymnasium has its own entrance on the SE side of the building. Please only use the gymnasium doors, as there are other events happening throughout the building that we do not want to disturb.
The Gym is large and carpeted, has change rooms and bleachers. We will set up Troll (Sign in, weapon, armor and garb check) out side of the Gym doors at 12:50. Weather permitting.

And if you want a map, here is one:

The Battle of Strathclyde Coming in less than a week!

2009-04-28T13:07:00.000-07:00

Are you ready? Well, not if you haven printed and singed your waiver!

I don't have access to a printer ATM as ours is not working. I will only have limited waivers at the event and after that will have to modify Arderyth ones by hand. So if you can print your own and maybe one for your friend that would be fantastic!

GAAAHHH! I had the wrong day in here! Upadated, make sure you tell everyone you know it is sunday!

A testing of the waters is happening in Calgary for Belegarth.

There has been talk of a Calgary practice for months now but no one has actually set one up.

When: Sunday 26th, 12:00 noon
Where: Downtown Calgary, Prince's Island Park. Meet at the middle bridge on the island side.

Also, with this unexpected movement I figured It was time to Calgary to have its own site, check it out here

Belegarth.com has finally updated to their new site. Check it out, it is very snazzy. It has a lot of good info and resources on it.

Click here to visit it.

Resource Store Now Open!

2008-11-20T14:06:00.001-08:00

"Strathclyde has just taken one giant step in the Belegarth world, proving that we are very serious about what we are doing, and committed to doing it with excellence."

Introducing the Strathclyde Resource Store!

I have been spending the last few weeks working on something very cool, something I think is groundbreaking, and the likes of which Belegarth has, up till now, not seen anything like (at least, to my knowledge)! The Strathclyde Resource Store provides downloadable content and recourses to help supply realms, units and fighters, new and old with what they need to take things to the next level.

We have a dream of Alberta being a Belegarth icon, leading the way in this great game and sport. This is just the first step of many toward that goal.

Asides from the store opening itself, we are taking things even further, simultaneously releasing another ground braking product. The New Realm Starter Kit which is also a ground braking product, giving realms a jump start and that little bost they need to get off the ground. "The kit will be constantly evolving and expanding as we find new resources to add, in fact we are already looking at some exiting new additions that might be added as soon as January!"

Very cool, check it out!
