Shire of Trisel Revel 2010

Shire of Trisel Revel 2010

Cathal the Black Rogue brought up a wonderful idea, and we are going to go through this idea the best we can.
January marks our one year anniversary for officially being a shire. On a yearly basis, we as a shire should have some sort of "Celebration" and even an event in the future. But there are still many things we need to get in order to hold an event, so this year we will hold a Revel. Think of it as a shire only "Event - but not an event" for the weekend.

The weekend prior to Thanksgiving (The 3rd weekend of the month) will be our Shire yearly local "celebration". This year being November 19th, 20th, and 21st.

The details need to be ironed out a bit more, but the basics would be, check in Friday afternoon ... Saturday would have some fighting, classes, and a feast.

Feast would be $10, preferably paid in advance, and class admission would require a non-perishable food item.

It's the weekend before Thanksgiving, what a great way to give back to the community and do a food drive as a shire. For every food item donated, a token would be given to show the instructor that you "paid" for the class. I could get into more details, but then this email would be mega long .. so if you want more information, please respond to this email.

Also, as we grow as a shire, what kind of reputation would you like to be known as? By the end of the meeting a number of us thought it would be a good idea to be known for our Hospitality, especially for newbies to SCA. Whether it's a local get together (our social gatherings on Friday night), or a Kingdom event, we would help those get acquainted and familiar with what goes on.

With that said, on Friday nights, if you still need garb - now that we have our Revel in sight, and you would like something made, T-Tunics are a great starter piece of period clothing. And it's real simple to make. All you need to bring with you is a woven shirt that fits you comfortably and a bed sheet that fits around your body - normally a full or queen size would work just fine. Local thrift shops and goodwill and other shops like that you can find sheets for a great price. We will make you a t-tunic (Dress for women - shirt for men (men then would need scrubs pants for bottoms) during the Friday night social night, or during a specified Craft gathering. All with the focus to get you ready for an event. Then to give it shape, you would just need a belt, leather works fine, black or anything in the brown family of colors.

If you think you would like to have a t-tunic made for you, please respond and I can give more details.

Bring a woven shirt (button down) with you this Friday and we can get your tunic started!! :)

If anyone is interested in Tablet Card Weaving, please respond to this email - Thora has graciously informed me that she is willing to do a series of classes, if the interest is there.

OK, I'm sure I'm forgetting information .. but we have some time till our Revel, oh yeah ... at the Revel, please start thinking about any excess material, crafting supplies, tokens, etc that you would like to trade with other members - we'll be setting it up like a Market Square.

OH also, Tuchux fighters - If you would like to participate and fight in our Revel, it is considered an official SCA "Event" so you would need to be approved to fight in the SCA, with the correct gear and such, Please get with our heavies to make sure you all can play together :)
