Greetings
to all:   August 24-26 WILLIAM TELL
XVII 

This
year’s William Tell is going to be Archery only!  Due to low
participation numbers in Equestrian, in the last few years, we have
decided to dedicate our energy and talents to putting on an
outstanding Archery event even larger than we usually do. 
More area will be dedicated to the archery range and as we have
been doing, combat archery with the castle will also be included.
Royal Rounds, York Rounds, Novelty Shoots, as well as the
Competition to be our Protector for both Adult and Youth. 
Letters of intent to the Seneschale/Stewardess before the
competition is required.

The
Mountain/River Double Dipping War that was drowned out at Defenders
Tourney and War, will be continued.  Fighters  come help
defend the honor of the Shire of River’s Bend!!

Thrown
Weapons of course will be a big part of the event. Classes for
learning how to throw as well as Marshaling.

Bocce
Tournaments for Women, Men and Children.

A wide
range of  Classes for Archery and Thrown Weapons as well as
others to have something for a wide range of interest. We will be
able to take care of Marshal promotions as well.

The now
traditional Ladies High Tea will be held Saturday
afternoon:

Saturday
night we will hold a desert potluck around the campfire and bards
are welcomed and encouraged.

Sunday
morning there will be a Breakfast Scottish Rules Croquet Event!
(bribing the judges with yummy breakfast delights is allowed and
encouraged!)

Merchants: 
Please contact me with your size needs so that we can make sure
that Merchants row is laid out to the best advantage of the
Merchants and the shoppers! Fee is only a donation to the prize
chest. The Merchant list is growing!!

Overview
of the beginnings and history of An Tir. Discussion oriented
class
with a handout.  This is a great class to ask questions
about
the SCA, good for newcomers who want to know how it all began.

Making Arrows,
“Medieval Style”
Rhobert am y bwa will discuss period
arrows and what we know about them
based on visits to English and French
Museums, finds from the Mary Rose and
archeological evidence.  He will
then explain how he makes target and
replica arrows using today’s
available resources, demonstrate the
techniques and how to use various
handy tools.  The class will look at
shafts, nocking, cutting fletches and
attaching, whipping (wrapping or
binding) fletching, piles and
points.
The intent is to learn to make your
own period looking arrows for target
shooting and SCA events for about the
same price as you would pay for wood
arrows with plastic nocks and field
points. Each person will get several
handouts so it will not be neccessary
to take notes.  But you can if you
want.

In case you need an introduction, I
am Robert ‘Bob’ Chenoweth.  I live in
Moscow, Idaho and work for the
National Park Service as a Museum Curator at
Nez Perce National Historical Park
just east of Lewiston, Idaho.  I
attended my first SCA event in June
2010, Honor War in Lewiston and am
active with Lyonsmarche.  I have
travelled twice to Europe in the past 7
years to research medieval archery,
ship building, and life.  My main area
of interest is England and Northern
France (site of most of the fighting
during the 100 Years War).  In
that regard I’ve visited York, Leeds (Royal
Armouries), Portsmouth (Mary Rose
Museum), Hastings (and Battle) for Norman
Conquest,  Dover, Calais,
Bayeux, Caen, the towns and battlefields of
Cressy and Agincourt, Crepy en
Valois, and various Museums in Paris
including Musee du Moyen Ages. 
I also have a keen interest in Nordic
seafaring and trade, and have visited
Viking village and archeological
sites in Sweden, Denmark and Northern
Germany, the Roskilde Viking Ship
Museum and Northern cities associated
with the Hanseatic League.
I have two boys in college, four cats
and two Mini Coopers.

Since this is not a workshop that
produces a product there will not be any
cost.  Because we will not be
“working”, I do not want to restrict the size
of the
class.
