Night/Bardic<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Cunegonda - how many people show up for games/bardic nights
(14-16-18 people, maybe?)?<BR>I have been hoping (now that Mischa has our house
looking so good) that I could host an evening at our place, and it seems this
might be a nice way to do it.<BR>(A weekend night would be best, I think, so
folks could come down/over, enjoy, and head back home and (for most?) not have
to go to work the next day - say, a Saturday?)<BR><BR>Our house is very
open-plan, but areas can be set up easily for various activities:<BR>I have our
oval table in the dining area (that is a part of the kitchen) which can seat
about 6 people;<BR>we have two folding-leg tables, one seats 4, the other at
least 6, and they can be put end-to-end, if need be, to create one LONG table -
perhaps in the middle of the living room?;<BR>I have my sewing/crafts room for
anyone wanting to get together a stitchery group (I have at least 6 TV tray
tables for individuals to use at their chairs);<BR>singers/musicians might enjoy
the entranceway hall or living room, with the 18' ceilings; we even have a loft
walkway upstairs, between the sewing/craft room and our family room, open to
both the entranceway and the living room/ kitchen/ dining room, from where some
might like to try their skills at oratory... or an aria... or something
Bardic-ish. :-)<BR>We have at least 12 chairs indoors, along with quite a number
of outdoor chairs,and so can accommodate at least 22-24 people.<BR><BR>We do
have two cats, who will disappear to the basement or family room when people
arrive, but it is worth noting for those with allergies (you might want to plan
to take an antihistamine); my sewing/crafts room is a cat-free zone, though, for
those who may be sewing/etc. The house is carpet-free, but there are some
woven Persian-style scatter rugs here and there (which I do manage to keep
fairly free of dust and cat hair... mostly... sometimes... well, when I can... I
will vacuum beforehand!), so hopefully, allergies will not be an issue.<BR><BR>I
am away from Jan 20th to 27th (and the 27th is the big *meeting*; Al and I are
away early Feb. for a couple/few days over to Tofino; and then we return to
Victoria for his second surgery, toward the end of February, and after that
he'll be recovering for a bit, at least. But other than that, we are
fairly open and flexible.<BR>If we do it on a Saturday and gather early in the
afternoon, and include a(n organized) pot-luck for supper, we could basically
make most of a day/evening of it - both a 'house-warming' party for us (and what
a way to *warm* up our home!), and a lovely social for the Shire. (If I
get myself organized, I may even set up a 'merchanting' booth, and have for sale
some of my fabrics and other accoutrements.)<BR><BR>Okay - there's the gist of
it all... what do you (all) think?<BR>...Aline/ Aliyyah/ Athelyna/
Lynne<BR>:-)<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Subject: [Hartwood] Games Night/Bardic<BR>> <BR>> Okay, so this one is my
fault for not getting back to the shire. The next games night we wanted to be on
the 23rd, but I found out a while ago that was booked, and I figured I'd bring
it up at the next council meeting... but we haven't had one in Dec (Or was I
just out of town?) and it slipped my mind.<BR>> <BR>> I can probably book
Feb 2nd (Lionsdale has a tourney), or March 2nd (Kingdom A&S), March 16th
(Canterbury Faire in Lionsgate), 23rd or 30th.<BR>> <BR>>
