Greetings everyone! Wow! As I look into April - there is ALOT going on! Please hold on to this email as the whole month of events and dates will be noted!
Dates of Interest for April:
Friday - Sunday April 1st-3rd - Spring Coronation - Camp Ocala

Copied from the Seneschal group via Lady Lucrezia sarta di Napoli:
Greetings Everyone,
The Order of the Rose will be sponsoring a William Marshal style Fundraiser tourney this weekend to support the Kingdom War Chest.
So please remember to have some $$cash$$ on hand to come participate in the Tourney.
The format is this:
The lyst will start at 2pm and run for one hour ending at 3pm. (It will run for one hour...it's scheduled for 2pm, but start time largely depends on the end time of the Champion Trimaris Lyst.)
The minimum buy-in for the Tourney is $5. For $5 dollars you will receive 3 flowers. You may purchase as many flowers as you like, there is no limit. The flowers will be $2 each or 3 for $5. As the fights are fought, the lady for whom the fighter is fighting holds their flowers. After each bout, the fighter that has not been victorious bestows one of his flowers to the lady of the victor.
At the end of the lyst, the fighter whose consort holds the most flowers will be declared the victor.
Please know that the Kingdom War Chest is one of things that enables things like, hay, propane, decorations, and many other things that benefit the whole Kingdom at War. When the Kingdom has a healthy War Chest it benefits the whole Kingdom at War.
I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

Saturday April 2nd - Shire Social - North Fort Myers - 4pm
We will be continuing with Winfield's Cooking Class - If you are participating and would like to eat, please bring your own cutting board, kitchen knife and $1 to go towards the food that will be prepared. The social needs to start at 4pm so we can prepare the stew and get it on the stove by 5pm - to eat by 7pm. While it is simmering, Thora will bread - This social will be entirely focused on Period Cooking. A few of the fighters will be heading to coronation, so there will be NO heavy fighter practice.
----------------------------------
Saturday April 9th - No Shire Social due to preparing for the Southern Trimaris Fighting Practice.

Sunday April 10th - Southern Trimaris Fighting Practice - North Fort Myers - 12pm noon - be ready to fight at 1pm
All fighters are welcome to participate. This is the first of the monthly rotating fighter practices between Broward, West Palm, and Southwest Florida.
For more information be sure to join the google group: http://groups.google.com/group/southern-trimaris-fighter-practice?hl=en
If you are not a fighter, and would like to come out to support your fighters, or even come out for the day to learn more about it, please do. You will need to bring your own camp chair and whatnot for the afternoon. We will be outside for the afternoon.
If you have fabric, materials, garb, armor, etc., that you would like to barter or sell, there will be a few tables available to set up for a market row, Please let me know if you plan to set something up, so I can plan out the areas.
Also, it would be a lot easier on me if a couple people who were planning to come and watch could lend a hand in the beginning to help with parking and troll it'd be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you can be here by 11:30am - it would be great if at least 3 people could help out.

We have 2 locations to choose from I Need everyone's response on this so we can set a new location: (The Butterfly Estates is now closed on Sundays)

This is the same Park as the January Medieval Faire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All fighters! Make sure you join this google group! It gets you in connection with fighters from Broward and West Palm areas - it's always good to network with other areas to find more people to play with!
As you know the weekly fighter practices are well received and enjoyed by those that attend. In an effort to boost our numbers, I have been in contact with some out of area fighters to have a joint Fighter Practice. The plan is to have a once a month fighter practice that rotates between here, Broward, and West Palm. The first one is scheduled to be here April 10th (weekend after Coronation). The site is tentatively set to be our normal one (Margery and Warren's place), however if someone knows of a comfortable, safe, and more public place please speak up. Having a more public appearance would be good for the Shire I believe. We would like to get as many people out to fight and support this as we can since we will be having guests that have driven many hours to get here. There is a Google Group that has been formed to help keep track of what is going on, http://groups.google.com/group/southern-trimaris-fighter-practice?hl=en , please join it so you can keep track and can let folks know if you can make that months practice.
Thanks
Bjorn

A number of us have been talking about doing a demo, possibly at a local college, like Edison or FGCU, I have personally contacted the kingdom hospitaller and asked about the steps. I'm also in the process of researching the colleges' groups to see who we can talk to at each place to get this rolling. However, I am not going to go too into detail, if we don't have the commitment. If you are interested in being a part of this demo, and can commit a full day on a weekend to do so, please respond. Based on the responses, I will go further in seeing where we can do a demo and recruit more people into our Shire.
**I'm still researching this, We will talk about this at Monthly Moot**

Thora is still fundraising money for her 60 mile walk for the Cure. There is a canister in the house here at the social gatherings if anyone would like to donate spare change or what not. Every little bit helps! :)

I would like to congratulate and welcome both Aimee and Jon Steele as our new Web minster and Chroniclers, as Gillian had to step down due to medical reasons. What a way to jump in head first within your first 2 months being part of our Shire ... hmm sounds familiar! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope to see you all out this month!
