[MR] Their Highness' Coronation Info

[Adeliza of Bristol]

Gentle greetings all,

Attached below is the most recent flyer for Their Highness Coronation. A schedule and other details will follow in the next couple weeks. A few things to know right now is that if you have not mailed your reservations for feast already or Monday at the latest, odds are that you will not get on to dinner at this point. It would be best to reserve off feast and inquire regarding the wait list once you reach site. There is an entire strip of restaurants very near the site, so obtaining food should not be a problem for those who can't get on to feast.

There is a kids' feast being offered for free! All we need is your child's name so we can have a proper head count. You don't have to have gotten on-board for your child/ren to enjoy dinner with their freinds. Please let us know ASAP that we can expect some kid's for dinner!

All space in any deluxe cabins was sold out almost three weeks ago now. There is till room in the bunkhouses, which are quite nice. Please remember when reserving that you either pay fees to stay on site OR fees to day-trip, not both. Day=trip fees are exactly that, they are not site fees.

Pavilion space is *not* unlimited, in fact, it is down to precious little left. If you plan to bring a pavilion or dayshade and have not already communicated with me, please let me know immediately. There may not be any space for it. 

If there are any questions or if I can help anyone, feel free to get in touch! I have confirmed the receipt of reservations for all those who have given me a way too, so far. If I managed to overlook you, just drop me and e-mail and I'll look it up.  

In your service,
Baroness Adeliza
Event Steward
Coronation of Sinclair Hawkins & Kari Kyst
April 4th-6th, 2008
 
                Louise IX of France has died before Edward I of England could join his Crusade, so Edward has launched his own ninth Crusade into the Holy Land himself. In a time when the Crusades were drawing to an end and the Holy Land was plagued with unrest, an opportunity of peace and great celebration has come again to our Kingdom. Atlantia calls home all those who are able to answer, be they Crusader, warrior, artisan, laborer or supporter. Let it resound throughout the Lands to come to the Barony of Hawkwood to witness the Royal Coronation of Sir Sinclair Hawkins and Baroness Kari Kyst.
 
Site: Camp Pinnacle; 4080 Little River Road, Hendersonville, NC 28739. Site opens 6pm on Fri.; closes 12pm on Sun. No personal pets allowed. Fire only in pre-existing pit, if weather allows. Alcohol allowed per mundane and SCA rules/laws. Most all amenities are within ten minutes of site.
 
Martial and Other Activities: A quest reminiscent of the journey to the Crusades is planned for all to enjoy. Fighting, both armored and rapier, will be a part of this quest, as will target archery. Bring *all* your armor and it will get used!

No limit as to number of medallions, style or construction - all medallions submitted by an artisan will count as a single body of work/entry.  No documentation required.
 
Best use of Chocolate - Chocolate has been around for almost 2000 years, from the discovery and use of the cocoa bean by the Maya to it's introduction to Europe by the conquering Spanish.  Thank goodness you no longer need to be wealthy to enjoy it!  Use this divine concoction to create sotleties or other creations featuring this fabulous "vegetable."  Documentation, list of ingredients required.
 
Best use of Wool - Sponsored by the Company of the Silver Spindle of Atlantia.  Wool has been used for centuries for everything from clothing to ships' sails and saddle pads.  The Spinners of Atlantia love to spin woolen yarns, and are interested to see what other artisans can do with the product of our wooly friends.  Documentation required.
