[MR] Newcomers at WoWII

[Bessenyei Rozsa]

Welcome to the SCA and the Great War of the Wings II.  It's wonderful that you have decided to join us for a great time in the medieval ages.  War of the Wings is a great event.  The whole weekend is filled with all kinds of activities.   My name is Lady Mari of Varekai and I will be running Newcomer's Point.   We have a full day of activities for newcomers on Saturday to help you break the ice, make some new friends here in the SCA.   Feel free to e-mail me at pernika2003 at yahoo.com if you have any questions.  I look forward to meeting you all.

5:00pm - Newcomers Point Closes
9:00pm till whenever -- Newcomer's Roaming Party!!!!  Come drink and be merry with us!

The way the scavenger hunt works is you will receive a sheet of paper with a list of different types of awards and orders that are easily identifiable, for example; a white scarf or a golden dolphin.  You must walk around and get signatures from different people for each item.   You receive a point for each signature; you have a three hour time limit.  If more than one person gets all possible points, who ever gets it turned in first is declared the winner.  This is a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people.  
Loaner Garb is available for you, at Newcomer's Point. 
Newcomer's Party  -- everyone is invited to come.  We will meet at 9:00pm at the newcomer's tent, socialize for a while, and then off to invade parties.  So bring a mug and put your party hat on.  We're going Roaming!!
