<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I concur wholeheartedly with Fens' idea. It would be *very cool* to take part of the range at Pennsic for an Atlantian Challenge. It's also fairly easy to do. Just contact the person in charge of the martial activities for Pennsic next year, or the person in charge of Pennsic 40 Archery and tell them what you would like to do. figure out a time for the challenge and get it scheduled.<div><br></div><div>As a Mongol, I value Archers and their contribution to *any* event and have sponsored Archery for many years. :) I also sponsored an all woman team at the last Golden Rose Tournament because I really feel that women and the martial disciplines in the Society are rather under valued. However, I also like to have sense of humor about it. So figure out what you would need- dream big- and I would love to help you make that happen. Pavilion for shade? Your own water buffalo for the day? Pennants? Banners? Advertising all over the kingdoms and Pennsic? Articles in the Independant? Tabards? T-shirts for a fundraiser? Getting a special edition shuttle bus to ferry folks up to the Archers field for the day? It can all happen.</div><div><br></div><div>Go for it. Make it fun and watch the number of archers show up.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers!</div><div><br></div><div>Countess Rowan</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 24, 2010, at 8:45 PM, <a href="mailto:fenrisulven@comcast.net">fenrisulven@comcast.net</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I don't know how difficult it would be to arrange.
