Dear All,
On September 25th, the Barony of  Nottinghill Coill will be 
participating in the Union County Horseman  Association's Rennaissance Horse 
Faire in Union, SC. The Faire is really a  flea market/tack swap that will go 
on all day that Saturday with people  being able to set up tables to sell, 
bring horses to sell, buy stuff...the  usual flea market atmosphere but with 
a theme.
The  SCA has been invited to participate as a "demo in personnae" to 
help give  color to their Rennaissance theme. Arts and Sciences, rapier, 
heavy and  cavalry are part of the activities planned for the day, as well as 
a pre and  post demo revel. What a wonderful opportunity for us to play the 
personnae  that we carefully work on but rarely share!
Because there  are so many people at Pensic right now, I am acting as 
contact person for  the demo, to get a preliminary head count as to who might 
be able to come,  party, play and support our opportunity for recruitment.  
SCA merchants  are VERY welcome but would be considered vendors by the Faire 
organizers  (table fee would apply)
Please drop me a line if you  would like to get some more information 
and to let me know that you would be  interested in spending a weekend 
playing yourself!
Your Humble Servant, Baroness Beatrice von Staufen
