[MR] Sacred Stone's Last Chance Before Pennsic

[David Ritterskamp]

>   Last Chance Authorizations
>
>Please hearken and pay heed to the words of Their Excellencies,
>Chevalier Marc d'Aubigny and Maitresse Alianor atte Red Swanne, Baron et
>Baronne of the most glorious Barony of the Sacred Stone.
>
>Good gentles, with the arrival of the Summer Solstice, the world is
>a-flutter with life.  The flowers burst forth with washes of color and
>fragrance; the birds share with us their song, and be it on branch, stem
>or root, the fruit of nature's bounty ripen almost before our very eyes.
>   At such a time as this, it is hard to imagine the unrest north of
>Atlantia's borders.
>
>Our beloved Imperator and Imperatrix, Valharic and Arielle, have called
>forth all of Atlantia to answer the petition of Our Midrealm cousins.
>   Soon the fighting might of Atlantia's army, and those of us whom
>support them, will be packing wagon, cart and horse to head northward to
>the lands of Æthelmearc, and the Great Pennsic War.
>
>To that end We, Marc and Alianor, have requested Our Warlord, Lord
>Jonathan Blackbow, to gather the willing and able bodied of Sacred Stone
>and all of other parts of the Kingdom who may wish to attend, to join and
>sharpen skills, test any preparations that may be yet untried, and
>draw together support to aid our Kingdom's Rulers in keeping this threat
>from spilling over the border into the rich lands of Atlantia.  This
>will be the last chance to authorize before war, and the gracious Kingdom
>MoL has offered services to insure that all paperwork is done in
>accordance with the necessary laws for martial participation at Pennsic.
>
>This day is an open invitation to all, not just those who may wield a
>weapon and plan to take the field at Pennsic.  For those who may not be
>joining the migration north, we hope that you will come out to avail us
>of your company, for you will be sorely missed.  To those who may have
>never been on campaign, we invite and encourage you to join us as
>well.  Come listen to the stories, make inquiries, seek advice or perhaps
>just encouragement from the many individuals who treat the horns and
>drums of war as a call home, as much as a call to arms.
>
>This will be the time for seasoned veteran and green recruit to knock
>the rust off of the armor, test out the new sword or make sure that
>their authorizations are up-to-date, while many of us may be putting the
>finishing touches on clothing, shows of heraldry, or any other number of
>projects. If anyone would be interested in putting together a sewing
>workshop, and would have need of electricity, please let me know as soon
>as possible.  The camping area is primitive (i.e. no water or
>electricity, but with a shower house near by) but we could reserve one of 
>the
>picnic pavilions, so that those who may wish to sew in earnest would have
>the facilities to do so.  The only quandary being that the pavilion is
>not in the near vicinity of the camp site.  To have this happen,
>however, I would need to know soon so that a deposit may be made, no later
>than July 6th.
>
>While this may have all the air of an official event, we have requested
>that this be a garb optional affair (i.e. garb or modern clothes by
>choice), to ease those who may have much activity to do and where such
>garments may hinder their efforts.  Also, there will be no food supplied,
>but we hope that all will bring spit, grill, pot or basket and gather
>with us in the relaxed companionship of good friends and good people.
>
>The date is the weekend of July 14th.  The camping area has been
>reserved from Saturday morning until 2pm on Sunday (July 15th).  The 
>managers
>have asked that we not use pavilions on the actual field area, but
>modern day shades are fine (less damage to the ground than our stakes).
>
>The location for the day's happenings is
>
>5920 Hagan-Stone Park
>Pleasant Garden, NC 27313
>Phone:(336) 674-0472
>And we will be in Group Camping area #1
>
>It is Roughly 10 miles outside of Greensboro, on hwy 421 south, so
>dining facilities are within reasonable driving distance, for those so
>inclined.  Upon entering the park, please keep an eye for signs to point
>the way to the proper location of the facilities we will be using.
>
>The charge for camping is $2 per person per night.

>If you have any questions, wish to volunteer to assist in any manner or
>just wish to solidify information, please feel free to contact us or
>Jonathan, and we'll be happy to help you where we can.

>We hope to see many of you there.

>ADDENDUM

>
>   Rapier fighters are encouraged (hopefully there'll be at least a couple 
>of rapier marshals in attendance!).  CARDS WILL BE ISSUED THAT DAY BY THE 
>KINGDOM MOL, which means you'll have them in time for Pennsic.
