After 14 years the Lafayette Parks System at Girard Park Rec Center has ended our relationship. It has been a good run and we appreciate that we were able to use the facility for so long. Unfortunately, they have insisted on increasing the room rental charge 5 times over what we were paying. We would need to charge our students a large fee if we were to continue there. If anyone wishes to learn what we offer, we will still have SCA practices in Girard Park on Sunday afternoons at 2PM till.
Thanks to all our students that have made these years worthwhile for us.
