[MR] Arts & Sciences at Novice Tourney

[Kim Toyofuku]

Greetings Good Gentles,

I'm running the Arts and Sciences classes at Storvik's Novice Tourney this year. I would like to schedule classes/demos between the hours of 10:00AM and 4:00PM on Saturday, July 19th, 2003 and tell you a little about what is planned. 

 

There is a competition planned for Best in Show by a Novice - Adult and Best In Show by a Novice - Children. For those of you who are new to SCA, this is defined as those who have been practicing an Art or Science for less than a year.

 

In addition, we will be holding a Curriculum Vita to give everyone a chance to bring out the best example of one of EVERY Art or Science that was tried within the general context of SCA. This will give all those attending a good chance to witness the breadth of people’s A&S talents as well as their not-so-perfect attempts. People who would like to participate in the Curriculum Vitae need to contact me and let me know so that I can arrange for enough space to properly display everyone’s items. Please watch the web site, Storvik newsgroup, and Merry Rose for future announcements about special A&S displays.

 

At this time I would like to begin planning the courses. Should you, or any member of a local group, like to teach a course or demo, please email me with following information:

 

   SCA and mundane name 
   Email address 
   Regular address and phone 
   Name of the class/demo 
   A brief description of the course/demo 
   Number of participants allowed (IE: will there be a cap on attendance?) 
   Fees, if any 
   Tools or items your students should bring with them 
   Time you will need for the course (classes can be set in 30 minute blocks) 
   Time preference (morning or afternoon)

Based on the responses I receive I will begin blocking out the course/demo lists. If more than one person wishes to teach the same material, I will first ask if one would like to teach an adult class that children may attend but will be geared towards adults or if the person would like to teach a children’s only class. Then I will schedule the class on a first volunteered basis, but may decide to offer them at opposite ends of the day. If you find that you cannot attend after you have been scheduled to teach, please contact me as soon as possible.

 

I encourage those out there to volunteer to hold classes for children. Many children in the barony I have already been in contact with are very excited about acquiring new skills and the possibility of attending classes geared especially for them. Though I understand this may require a bit more energy and patience, I would like to see children get an equal chance to participate and be more involved in the Arts and Sciences since they will be the future generations to cultivate and carry on these interests.

 

You may contact me via email or call me at 301-490-9362. I look forward to hearing from many wonderful teachers and artisans and want to thank you in advance for your help, participation and contribution in keeping the light of knowledge alive.

 

 

Yours in Service,

Kim of Wolfshaven

MoAS, Barony of Storvik
