&  All About Wool  –  1 hour –   HL
Aerngaldra Hrafnskald

If you’ve ever
wanted to spin your own yarn but have either never learned how, or
need a refresher, this class is for you! You will learn about the
history and use of the drop spindle and how to prepare raw wool for
spinning, as well as some background information about historic
sheep breeds, the nature of wool, and the many things it can be
used for. Informational class handouts as well as all supplies will
be provided free of charge; however, if you wish to keep a spindle
I am asking for an $8 donation to cover my materials & time
invested in making them.

Rapier tournament for
Barons ball will be a rose tournament. Those participating in the
tournament should have an inspiration to enter.

MOD Andrew
Williams has provided assistance to
the event steward and we have chosen this blade as the prize for
Baron’s Ball Rapie’s Rose Tournament (second only to the admiration
of your inspiration). This tournament will be fought first thing
Saturday morning (well, second, as court will precede it) so don’t
be late.

Let the battles begin! Once
again Sir Devin has created a prize to be sought after by those
throughout this kingdom, and maybe beyond. . In order to take
possession you must travel to the Barony of Wastekeep, participate
in the heavy fighters battles and emerge as the top
fighter.

 

 

Young fighters of An Tir:
Last year, you braved tests of fighting, cleverness, and daring-do
to heroically rescue our populace from the evil trolls. 
Her Excellency Katherine wishes to protect her people, and calls on
youth fighters to help her test her new keep security system at
Baron’s Ball this year.

Bring your current
authorization card to the field. Loaner equipment is available for
YAC, but youth must provide their own primary protection. We are
still using the old YAC armor and weapon rules, which can be
found at the Kingdom website.
