Current status

Although difficult times continue to affect our activities, we have managed to increase number of full members in our ranks to total of 10. We also have several candidates, but with dramatic lack of materials and equipment it will be long before they will be able to join as full members. Lack of civil cloth mostly. Prices on wool and linen went high extremely, not talking about buying leather for shoes. My personal funds, that I have used to spent on newcomers, are depleted.

New picture of our club (not everyone, but still...)


Real harsh winter, second in the row, rendered us unable to train properly. our base is located in cold hangar, left from Soviet Army. try to imagine changing cloth to armor in there with -20C (-4F) frost. And especially when you get a good slashing blow by your frozen fingers. No armor can save you there =))

But there are also good news. We have begun to reenact another wing dedicated to Teutonic Knights in Baltic. I was the instigator of this and few people decided to tag along. So with God's help we will develop this idea to a full Comtury (Teutonic Orders Unit) one day and more youngsters will join us, leaving the streets, drugs and booze behind. I already managed to interest two young fellows from orphanage to come to our club and at least try to understand the benefits of being one of us. Also my last attempt to get some aid from our government failed, as usual they stated that there is no money, but somehow I think they deny us for we do not give them a bribe, well, what to do, so is the life out here...
