Directions to the Meetings: Firestation #7 is located at 2350 Barnett Shoals Road, near the Kroger on the east side of Athens. Map.

From US-78 or GA-316: Take the Loop 10 exit (before Home Depot if on 316 or after Georgia Square Mall if on 78) going counter-clockwise (toward UGA) around Athens until you reach the College Station Rd exit (just past the Milledge Rd exit). At College Station Rd., turn right away or outside of the perimeter from campus/the stadium and continue until you see Kroger on the left. At this point you will want to be in the right lane. College Station Rd. ends at a T-intersection with Barnett Shoals at a light about 100 yards past the Kroger shopping center entrance. Take a right onto Barnett Shoals and travel for about 150 yards — Firestation #7 will be the solitary brick building on your right.
Directions to Dacula Fighter Practice: Dacula Park is located between Atlanta and Athens, GA in the town of Dacula, at 205 Dacula Rd. Map.*

From GA-316: Take best route to GA-316, turn north onto Harbins Rd., and continue onto Dacula Rd.
A very special message from the former Baron & Baroness: “The Barony of Bryn Madoc mourns deeply the loss of a true friend and brother, Lonnie Harvel, known in these current Middle Ages as THLord Owen (Aoghann) de Montgomery. We loved him dearly and miss him greatly. Please join us in remembering him, his name and his deeds, and keep his family in your thoughts and meditations. With heavy hearts, Óengus & Muirenn” (aka Khal & Arigh)
