Newcomers
Event, July 26-28, Barony of Seagirt

Come one,
come all to the Island Newcomers event. The Barony of Seagirt and
the Shire of Hartwood invite you to come out for the day or the
weekend, bring your interested friends, meet some new folks and
show them how much fun a time traveler can have.

There will
be plenty to do for everyone. A full day of free TUTR classes is
being planned for the newcomers (and anyone else who would like to
attend). We will dance! We will play games! We will sing! We will
fight! We will show each other some cool projects we are working
on. We will hold court. There will be a friendly game of medieval
football between Seagirt and Hartwood. And of course we will have
fun!

Teachers are needed: If
you would like to teach please contact Mistress
Halima. We would also like to
organize some children’s activities. If you would like to
take this on, please contact HL
Tatiana.

Fighters are
needed! There will be prize tournaments for heavy, rapier and
archery. The onsite A&S challenge will be chivalry
handkerchiefs. Linen will be supplied. Please bring sewing needles,
floss and scissors.

Prizes are
being sought from the island artisans. If you have something
amazing you have made (or would be willing to make) and would like
to donate for a specific contest, please contact HL Tatiana by July
15th.

Artisans are
needed! We will designate an area for you to work on projects on
site. Newcomers will be given time to wander over and see what you
are doing, and ask questions. If you want to participate in this,
please contact HL Tatiana so we know who/what to expect. Please
bring whatever you need for supplies.

Raffle
prizes are needed! The raffle will be for newcomers. Every hour
throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday we will draw a name so
someone can choose a prize. What kind of prizes you say? Well,
anything you no longer need that is somewhat period and a newcomer
would appreciate. This is an opportunity to clean out your stores
of old (but serviceable) garb, bolts of fabric, feast gear, armour
bits, etc.
