[MR] Crown Tourney Shield Tree

[Tricia Donadio]

Unto the combatants in Our Crown Tourney do I send greetings this day.

Baron Janos and Baroness Rachel of Nottinghill Coil have graciously provided
the shield tree we use for Crown tournaments.  It is no small amount of work
to maintain this tree and transport it to the event.  Please do not
unnecessarily add to the work required to display this feature.  If you have
not already done so, please respond to Baroness Rachel as soon as possible
to let her know whether you have a shield with your arms, or if you will
require a Spike shield.

Greetings to fair Atlantia from Baroness Rachel Wallace and Baron Sir Janos
of Cyddlian Downs.
    Their Majesties, Cuan and Padraigin, have requested that House Platipi
bring the shield tree to their Crown Tourney.  We will also be painting the
shields for the tree this Crown Tourney.  As such, we will need to know
which shields need to be painted.
    If you have entered a previous Crown Tourney and have your shield still
(this includes a Spike shield if your device hasn't passed Laurel) , bring
your shield with you.  We will greatly appreciate any that are already made.
If this is your first time entering a Crown list*, or your device has passed
Laurel between last Crown and now, we will need to paint a shield for you.
What will make everyone's life easier all around will be if you can e-mail
us with a computerized version of your arms with your SCA name.  This will
make it easier to shrink/enlarge and otherwise manipulate to make it easier
to draw.  This will also allow you to have your device drawn like you want
it to look, not someone else's interpretation of the blazon.  You will get
to keep the shield used on the tree during Crown Tourney.
    *Remember-if your device hasn't passed Laurel yet, then you will get a
shield with a Spike on it.


Rachel & Janos
House Platipi
