Email for week of Thanksgiving 2010

What a wonderful Revel we had this past weekend! Thank you for making it such a fun even for all!

Just a couple things this week.

Our official website for the shire is currently

http://tinyurl.com/FtMyersSCA

Any other site, group, mailing list is unofficial, which includes our Facebook group, and SWFLMedievalists yahoo group, and my blog. Both groups are great ways to share information amongst each other currently, and a new official website is in the works. I had changed the format of the weekly email into a blog, for a change of pace, while Gillian was out. I will still be updating the blog weekly, to keep up with calendar things, and what ever info I've been asked to share on there from Lucrezia or others, however, again it's all unofficial. If there are people interested in information about the shire, please direct them to the tinyurl site - it's a basic forum site that started when the shire started. In time a new site will go live.

If you are on facebook - we do have an unofficial group - Shrie of Trisel - join it if you'd like, when I post on the blog, I also post bits in the group, it seems like we have many active members using the facebook group.

If you havent heard, there is an unofficial group on yahoo that Sieggy has graciously shared all his internet resources - SWFLMedievalists - I dont know the link off the top of my head, but you can access that via my blog ... same with the facebook group link.

Ultimately all these unofficial sites will be linked from the new official sites and it will be all in one spot :)

I'm working on getting the photos up in a picasa gallery, however, if you are on facebook, Warin Maguidahir has loaded all of them taken with one of the cameras, so become his "friend" so you can see them :)

Lady Lucrezia needs our help again :)

Greeting unto the Shire.
It's that time of year when your seneschal begs assistance at our local Faire. The Faire takes place on Jan. 15, 16, 22, 23 from 9-6. I need help with ticket sales in the main gate area. If you are willing to donate a couple hours of your time to sell tickets I offer you entry into the faire for that day.
I have to begin making up my schedules and have many many openings at this time. Please come out and help us. We are a charity and support Orange River Elementary School. I must say that if you commit, you really have to come and volunteer. There will be no one to fill in for you.
If you have building talents and can donate time prior to the show--jan.12, 13, 14,- to build the stages etc. Please let me know. We need help. We are a very small Kiwanis club and can always use strong arms and carpentry skills.

The Revel is in about 2 weeks!!!!

I know I'm quite excited for the Revel .. are you? Have you RSVP'd yet? Letting us know isn't mandatory, but if you know you will be joining us, whether it be for the entire weekend or coming by on Saturday, it is very helpful to know in advance. Also, the cost for feast is $10, that is for the entire weekend! Friday evening, All Day Saturday, and Sunday morning. You can pay the $10 once you arrive, whatever day that may be, but if you could give us a heads up, by either filling out the form at http://www.wix.com/ladymargeryshireoftrisel2010 (the RSVP) button ... or you can email me at ladymargerymcguire@gmail.com ... or you can simply comment on this blog post. Also, for those coming to the social gathering this weekend, I will have a paper sign up sheet. So there are many ways to let us know. For those who have already responded, thank you :) And please dont fret if you can not RSVP and you want to come to Revel last minute, please come, all is Welcome!!!

Also, don't forget, we will be setting up a Market Row, if you have extra material, trim, crafting supplies, garb that you don't use, or doesn't fit, even armor and or materials to make armor and weapons, bring it along to Revel, we can all barter items to each other and share within the shire and newcomers to the shire. If you think you will be bringing things to barter, also please let me know, so we can set up enough tables.

If you are planning to camp Friday and Saturday, it is a primitive camping site, and the grounds will be discreetly wet.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

thanks,

Margery

Shire of Trisel Hospitaller

Tablet Weaving Class this Friday!!!!

Thora will be graciously teaching some basic tablet weaving this coming Friday, 11/5/2010 at the social gathering. If you would like to take part in this workshop, please bring a belt with you, the wider the better (it's more comfortable when it's sitting against your back). If you do not have a belt, that is ok too, a rope will do just fine. No other materials are needed, Just yourself and a belt :)

Thora will provide the rest. But if anyone has pearl Cotton they really want to use, she'll show you how to thread the cards and you can use your own textiles or hers.

There is no charge for the class, but assistance setting up cards for a future class is appreciated, but not required.

I know i'm looking forward to learning something new. Are you?
