Yes, we need volunteers for gate, too. It's easy work and I'm nearby for answering questions. The schedule is set up as one-hour blocks (start time), though people can (and do) volunteer for a couple of blocks (hours) at a time. As you see, I encourage there being two people on duty at a time; it's a lot more fun! Please let me know if you can fill in a spot; training is provided (Blue SCA cards fill in blue gate sheets, everyone else on the white gate sheets; everyone on the white sheets fills in the waivers: yellow for adults and green for minors). Oh... That was the training! I don't know the site, yet, but we will try to have the gate located in or near the common area. Here is the schedule, so far: Gate schedule draft for Hartwood's Spring TUTR; looking for more volunteers!

I imagine he could teach fabric painting as well. We know of many classes taught by HL Halima & HL Elizabeth, and now also by Master John & Archos Aline. We have talent and skills in our borders! Along with our regular visiting teachers (and maybe some new ones?) let's tap into that local talent! If you have a skill that you would consider teaching, or know someone else you would like to see spread their wings and teach, please let me know. Teaching is fun, and it helps you learn.

Turn right, so the corner store is on your left. Take the first left, called Avonlee (or the second, Mariner -- the roads here are shaped like a 'y') Turn Right on Kingfisher, then Left on Fern. Drive around the road until you run -out- of road. Our driveway is just past the pavement, on the right. From Courtenay, via Anderton: From the Anderton x Ryan road intersection, continue along Anderton, away from Comox, as if driving towards the Powel River ferry. Where the road curves to the right, take a LEFT onto Waveland. Continue past the Reserves property, past the tree farm, and turn LEFT onto Bates. Continue through Seal Bay Park, then turn RIGHT on Mariner (or the road afterwards, Avonelee, if you miss it.) Turn onto Kingfisher, then onto Fern Road. Drive around the road until you run -out- of road. Our driveway is just past the pavement, on the right. I'll put up a sign with a green arrow on Avonlee/Mariner, Fern, and by my driveway. :) ~ Danielle/Cunegonda On 2012-04-19, at 3:39 PM, Allison Mail wrote: > We are going to have archery tonight, even with the rain.

To that effect I am inviting everyone here to a Get-to-Know-You Party. Here's how it works: 1. a) If you are not interested in coming to the party just flush the e-mail when you see "Hartwood Party" in the subject heading. b) If you want to come to my party but only want to lurk until you decide it was worth your effort - just don't flush the e-mails. c) If you are tired of the winter blahs and want to be a party animal, start responding. 2. Introduce yourself. It doesn't have to be lengthy but it should at least include your name and what part of Hartwood you are from. Other tidbits may include how long you have been in the SCA, your areas of interest, what kind of garb you are wearing (something you actually own or be inventive), or whatever you want. 3. Like most parties there may be clusters. Feel free to join one for a while. a) The Great Hall Cluster - These people like to sing and dance. Someone will bring or play music and then the dancing will begin. Make a post about the song you are singing, the musical instrument you are playing, the story you are telling, the dance you want others to join you in... you get the idea. b) The Gaming Cluster - They love to play games, be it board games or the more physical kind. If you want to join them make a post about your latest game... maybe you made it - or are still working on it - or maybe you made a great score at a garage sale. Perhaps you have been researching something new and want to share. Perhaps you want to play Avoid-the- drunken-lout but don't know how... Make a post and join the fun. c) The Food Table Cluster. Maybe you didn't have time to stop at Burger King before the party and are hungry or maybe you want to put your potluck contribution on the table and someone asks you about it... This could lead to a discussion about food or maybe even a polite food fight... d) The Kitchen Party Cluster. We've all been to a kitchen party at one time or another. All the best conversations are found there and the topics can bounce around all over the place. Pick a topic and jump in... 4. The basic rules of public discourse apply here. Don't be nasty and remember this is a public list. Oh, and if you want to give someone a cloved fruit, a private e-mail may be in order... Just throwing that out there :) Lady Lizzie - Party Animal From bear_necessities at telus.net Sun Apr 29 22:25:17 2012 From: bear_necessities at telus.net (Morel Carr Zupanic) Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:25:17 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] Hartwood Party Invitation In-Reply-To: <29396E6817DA44E6AF28D2F89D257DF3@JeanPC> References: <3FCA4900-4BA9-43BC-84AE-A20AF15C82BC@topfloor.ca> <29396E6817DA44E6AF28D2F89D257DF3@JeanPC> Message-ID: <7938B369B5764143AB05A47100889296@MorelPC> Lady Lizzie wrote: > Since not everyone is really big into the Facebook thing - I'm hit and > miss at it myself - I thought maybe we should use this lovely little > Hartwood list to get to know each other better. To that effect I am > inviting everyone here to a Get-to-Know-You Party. You are awesome and I love you! I am a Hiberno Norsewoman (Irish/Norse, a result of Norse invasions into Ireland), still fleshing out my newly expanded persona. I am Lady Doireann Dechti - called Dori - to my Gaelic friends and kin, and ?orey Karrsdottir to my Norse friends and family. I have been in the SCA for almost 14 years, and have been a Gaelic persona for most of that time. There was a brief foray into Italian, but those corsets were just too much for me! My mentor's lovely lady, Baroness Glynis hand-sewed me a Norse undergown and apron dress, which I cherish as my favorite and most comfortable clothing. I then made a Norse tent, and was gifted an awesome Norse stool from HL Kjartan. I realized that I was slowly turning Norse, and wasn't sure what to do about that! Then I started hearing the term Hiberno Norse here and there, and learned that this is was a unique culture that actually existed, born of the Norse invasions into Ireland, and my problem was solved. I could be both Norse and Gaelic, and remain authentic, without a bizarre persona story! What I have learned is that, while there are some names that cross the two cultures, generally, one would be called two distinct yet similar names, by the two branches of their family. Thus, Dori and ?orey. I have been passionate about heraldry almost since joining the SCA, so for many years. I also very much enjoy painting, lampworking (very handy for the Norse side of me!), painting, and woodworking, especially tourney chests. Sayyida Halima once said that I will paint anything that doesn't move. She stopped saying that when she found me contemplating her lord, asleep on the grass at Ravenkey Castle, unmoving...

I am a Hiberno Norsewoman (Irish/Norse, a result of Norse invasions into Ireland), still fleshing out my newly expanded persona. I am Lady Doireann Dechti - called Dori - to my Gaelic friends and kin, and ?orey Karrsdottir to my Norse friends and family. I have been in the SCA for almost 14 years, and have been a Gaelic persona for most of that time. There was a brief foray into Italian, but those corsets were just too much for me! My mentor's lovely lady, Baroness Glynis hand-sewed me a Norse undergown and apron dress, which I cherish as my favorite and most comfortable clothing. I then made a Norse tent, and was gifted an awesome Norse stool from HL Kjartan. I realized that I was slowly turning Norse, and wasn't sure what to do about that! Then I started hearing the term Hiberno Norse here and there, and learned that this is was a unique culture that actually existed, and my problem was solved. I could be both Norse and Gaelic, and remain authentic, without a bizarre persona story! What I have learned is that, while there are some names that cross the two cultures, generally, one would be called two distinct yet similar names, by the two branches of their family. Thus, Dori and ?orey. I have been passionate about heraldry almost since joining the SCA, so for many years. I also very much enjoy painting, lampworking (very handy for the Norse side of me!), painting, and woodworking, especially tourney chests. Sayyida Halima once said that I will paint anything that doesn't move. She stopped saying that when she found me contemplating her lord, asleep on the grass at Ravenkey Castle, unmoving...

Isme Halima al-Rakkasa, more formally addressed as Sayyida Halima, late of Dimashq, ten years after the fall of Maanzikert. My trade, a trade like any other, is that of dancer, yet am I also called a teller of fortunes; through such skills do dinars make lively my purse. My dar is a beyt, its labour shared by Sahra (blessings upon her) and this humble writer, from the spinning and weaving of our shelter to the daily chores. Hospitality and the sharing of wisdom are precepts of this dar, for poor in spirit is one who shares not of one's blessings. And thirsty are those who have not tasted Sahra's mint tea! --- Salaam aleikum = Peace be upon you. Isme = My name is; I am. Dimashq = Damascus. Dar = house. Beyt = tent. In Hartwood, I live near the shortest river in North America. I was lured into the SCA through Marina, Theodora/Antonia, Aleyn and Anicia in 1995 through promises of much dancing; some of that has been fulfilled! Then I discovered potential for unlimited learning at reasonable expense from people who were passionate about reviving old and ancient skills and wisdom, and the SCA became my heaven on earth. In 1995 was also my first office in the incipient shire of Cragmere, that of chatelaine... the steepest learning curve -ever-, because I needed to know a bit of everything and where to find everything so I could present a balanced view of SCA activities to newcomers, and help them find their way into those activities. My personal drive (I discovered) is to learn skills (almost -any- skills) and then pass them along to someone/somemany else. If I know it and you want to learn, ask. My persona is based as far as feasible on a Dimashqi woman of 1085, unfortunately orphaned yet fortunately lucky enough to manage life without a tribe (usually a death sentence); she lives on the outskirts but has long ears and a still tongue, moving and dancing along the edges of society. My interests are mostly textile (handspindle spinning, weaving narrowwares and braids, dyeing), pewtercasting (in soapstone), and in persona-related skills (cookery, calligraphy, Arab culture). There are a few other things I've learned that aren't easily categorized, but you can ask. My current office is that of exchequer; I am always looking for people to take over my office, which is essentially being knowledgeable about financial policies (SCA, kingdom, principality, shire) and all SCA laws relating to financial matters, able to manage a not-for-profit bank account spread over a large geographic area, and having or developing basic bookkeeping skills (training provided). Reporting monthly to the shire and quarterly to principality/kingdom are mandatory; lack of reporting will result in a suspended branch. I have an open book policy: at most events, I have the journal with me and will open it to anyone who asks to discuss anything therein. Are you still reading? Excellent! --- The sun on the hills tells me it is time to leave. Let us share some incense, for after the incense, there is no sitting.
