From doerksen at island.net Sun Mar 3 20:55:23 2013 From: doerksen at island.net (doerksen at island.net) Date: Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:55:23 -0800 Subject: [Hartwood] More on the past Black Knight Feast... Message-ID: <20130303205523.59676cq7wsth15x7@webmail.uniserve.com> Greetings, all! I hope you are enjoying the great weather and making plans for both the garden and the tourney season! However, this missive is about financial matters. I received an email from the NMS Deputy informing me that we owe them NMS for the Black Knight Feast. There were a number of subsequent emails going back and forth, and upper levels of the Exchequery were involved. The result is that we are not allowed to simply pay the required amount out of the branch's account, but must solicit donations to cover it. That is, we are being told to "pass the hat" until that amount has been reached. Ideally, the non-SCA-members who attended Black Knight will chip in their $5. Practically, any and all donations will be accepted until we reach $95.00, the amount determined to be owing. If everyone donates $2, it will quickly and easily be done. Please make your donation before the end of the April TUTR. I will accept donations at any SCA-related activity. Contact me if you wish to make other arrangements (halima.dancer at gmail.com, 703-0494). Thank-you for supporting your Shire! in service, Halima al-Rakkasa exchequer, Shire of Hartwood -- http://www.island.net/~doerksen/ From doerksen at island.net Sun Mar 10 09:27:11 2013 From: doerksen at island.net (doerksen at island.net) Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 09:27:11 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] For Slavic Personae...

The weather has not cooperated to allow us to shoot outdoors yet. I was asked to run an archery tournament at Investiture in Seagirt in February. We had a nice turn out and the weather actually was perfect or shooting. I've been approached by some your fighters in South Hartwood who are wanting to start to shoot combat archery. I have contacted Baron James and Magnus from Seagirt to assist me with this as neither John nor I are Senior Marshals for Combat Archery. I have not heard back from them. I have, however, offered to travel down to teach them how to shoot, if we are able to find a suitable place, even a garage would do. We will have to purchase some targets for the upcoming season.

For those who weren't there or didn't hear my explanation, it's a newcomers event where we teach the 10 1-hour TUTR classes that comprise the Novus Diploma, then have a revel/potluck to put it all into practice. I'm hoping for a fighting workshop of some sort as well, for Sunday afternoon/Friday evening. Attilla has been looking for a place for us to camp (including looking into the cost of biffies if additional). It may be a bit rough, because getting proper campground space in June might be hard so we may be utilizing a field, which may ALSO mean packing in our own water. But hey, it's not like we haven't done that before. (ToA, anyone?) The Classes include: Basic Heraldry Persona Development Basic Research and Documentation Basic Calligraphy Introduction to Dance Introduction to Garb Introduction to Fabric Choices SCA Combat Forms SCA Structure Chivalry and Etiquette ***VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*** INSTRUCTORS I have a line on two instructors willing to cover four classes: Halima has offered to teach Persona Development & Dance, Desamona has offered Fabric Choices & Garb. Everything else is wide open. I believe it was Zoran who asked if I required a resume, and it's nothing quite so formal, but we DO require a class proposal which is just a blurb about what topics you expect to hit on (so we actually know bases are covered). That form can be found here: http://tirrigh.org/tutr/forms/TUTR_Class_Proposal.pdf PACK MULES Yeah, theres going to be a lot of STUFF that needs moving around. For example: We have 3 costco tents in the shire. I think I will want to utilize at least two of these as classroom/dining hall, perhaps even the third as a kitchen. If it's a field, we'll have to tape out the areas we'll have camping vs the flat space we want reserved for dancing. I am ABSOLUTELY going to need strapping young people with stronger backs than mine to assist me with setting up and tearing down; it simply cannot happen without that! This also includes signage, which needs to be a Nanaimo local. Seriously, you don't want me directing traffic; just ask anyone I have ever tried to navigate for. GATE Seriously considering putting gate at one end of the classroom, so they can sit in/participate without leaving their post. That having been said, I still need a handful of volunteers willing to sit shifts here. MORNING HERALD Yeah, the early riser job. Classes will start at 9; people should be breakfasting by 8. Thats going to require a morning wakeup call. You may get a bit of abuse Sunday morning, but -I'll- have a special treat for whomever volunteers for this one. SERVERS AND HOSTS For Saturday Dinner (Potluck? Feast ticket? Has anyone ever done a feast while camping? Hrm, need to think about this.) and revel, I'd actually like to attempt a served meal, and this is why -- assigned seating. We'd put the newer people in clumps of their friends, but I'd take some volunteer oldbies who would pick up and move down a few spaces at the start of each course, with the idea that we all get the opportunity to meet, talk, and get to know people we may not have. COMPETITION IDEAS AND JUDGES Bardic? First Garb? If it's a private property we may even have a brewers competition, as I know some of the guys down south are interested (if that's legal. Is that legal? Hrm). Talk to me! It should be some kind of introduction to competitions, or a fun excuse for us to dig out the very first bit of embroidery we ever did and make newer people realize no one starts awesome. (Well okay, /some/ of us do...) DAY FOOD I would love for this to be an event where people who are in class all day just don't have to worry about their meals. I also enjoy the idea of everyone eating together! Cost for day food would be over and above cost of the event, but I'd love to keep it as low/accessible as possible. If anyone is willing to oversee this, please send me a menu and proposed costs. This would be awesome. POPULACE Here's the thing, these 10 1-hour classes are cool and all, but where's the 'Intro to Games', or 'Intro to Bardic'? They're not a requirement for Novus, but they're pretty cool -I- think. Even if you aren't into the classes (though hey, how many of us oldbies can say we have the diploma? Come sit in on them anyway for the fun of it!), it would be awesome if you were there showing off what you -do-. Drop spindles, a display of glasswork, inkle weaving, sprang, fletching, woodwork... any activity where someone may stop and go 'what on -earth- are you doing to that piece of string?!' For me, the SCA has opened me up to an amazing number of crafts I'd never even considered. Come show people the possibilities. Also, your banners. I really only love you all for your heraldry. ;) And if you have period tents at all, PLEASE bring them, even if it's a pain -- we'll find someone to help set them up. CALLIGRAPHER/ILLUMINATORS Yeah, uh, if you have that skill, you come talk to me please? Thanks. :D *** OFFICERS *** It would be lovely if as many of you made it as possible, even if only for the Sat. night dinner. Even if you can't, things I'll need: Seneschal: Approval! And probably a million questions as I go. And to point and laugh at me. Exchequer: Money! And reminders that I need float, the proper gate forms, and help reconciling. Yes, I know you'll have stepped down by then, but. Stores: Assistance in locating and arranging the transport of items I'll need. Perhaps also a reality check vis a vis, "You didn't ask for x. Are you suuuure?" MoS: Depending on the space we wind up with, some kind of a fighting seminar for Sunday afternoon -- perhaps even a Pas? Have your people talk to my people. :) Head Archer: Depending on space, a drive-by of the site at one point to determine if it can be set up to safely hold any kind of archery. A&S: Competition advice. I've never run them. HALP! Chatelaine: I am hoping a certain Miss Pru may have gotten in her application by then. ;) This event is ALL about the chatelaine position, so... yeah. Whomever fills this position, please be my new best friend and we'll figure it out together? Family Services: Some of the older kids may want to take the classes. Some of the younger ones will not want to. IF we manage to pull the interest of the homeschool group, then the kids activities will suddenly take on a lot more importance, and it may be cool for some of it to reflect a bit of what the adults are doing; heraldic colouring pages, a dance, some period games. But if that happens that is definitely more than one person can handle, so lets talk, and lets recruit. Herald: If we could have some of the heraldry books for people to flip through, that would be terrific, especially for the Basic Heraldry class. Chronicler: I'm thinking you should just be prepared for a whackload of photos. Yes, thats a technical term. *** END *** I'm sure I've forgotten a tonne of things, but thats what I got for now! So, DISCUSS! (No really, if no one comments I'll cry.) ~ Danielle/Cunegonda -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It may be a bit rough, because getting proper campground space in June might be hard so we may be utilizing a field, which may ALSO mean packing in our own water. But hey, it's not like we haven't done that before. (ToA, anyone?) ********************************* This sounds absolutely wonderful, and I am requesting the time off. May I put myself forward to teach the Basic Heraldry class? Doireann -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The lifelong friends always greeted each other the same way: John would point out Gary's thinning hair, then Gary would come back with a riposte about John's golf game. ? "Modernism, with its strong Gothic influences recalling the glories of medieval Barcelona, was very much a riposte to the conservative architecture that flourished in Madrid at the time." ? From an article by Andrew Allen in The New York Times, February 8, 2013 ? ? ? ? ? In the sport of fencing, a riposte is a counterattack made after successfully fending off one's opponent. English speakers borrowed the name for this particular maneuver from French in the early 1700s, but the French had simply modified Italian "risposta," which literally means "answer." Ultimately these words come from the Latin verb "respond?re" meaning "to respond." It seems fitting that "riposte" has since come full circle to now refer to a quick and witty response performed as a form of retaliation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Miracle Beach Park is probably the least expensive: * The beach is about a five minute walk from the campsites. * There is no running water or flush toilets at this time, but there are clean outhouses. * The usual dog rules apply - No dogs on the beach (or certain trails), must be on a leash, pick up their poop. Of course, most people there do *not* follow the rules. It is an absolutely beautiful park, very vibrant and peaceful. For more info, and to make reservations: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/miracle_bch/ The local private RV sites may be more expensive, and are fully serviced: Saratoga Beach Resort: http://www.saratogabeach.com/ Pacific Playgrounds: http://www.pacificplaygrounds.com/ There are others, as well.
