[MR] Novice Tournament A&S

[Grazia Morgano]

Greetings, Atlantia,
The announcement of A&S activities for Barony Storvik's Novice Tournament 
sadly did not make it into the online event listing for the Acorn. The message 
with the information may have been waylaid by highway robbers. Here is what it 
said:

There will be three A&S activities occurring. 

For novices only (defined as anyone practicing this particular art or science 
for less than one year), there will be an open A&S competition. There will be 
EZ-Doc forms at the event, so that judges know what they're looking at.

Second, there will be a themed competition, open to all, with prizes for both 
overall and novice.

Religious and spiritual practices had a huge influence on the way people lived, 
both in the every day components of religious practice and in the foods and 
decorations that surrounded holidays. Items like the illuminated pages of a 
book of hours, jack o lanterns, and both fasting and feast foods were 
important parts of life throughout SCA period. This is an opportunity to study 
one of the more often overlooked aspects of life in the SCA period. Entries' 
documentation should include a short explanation of how the item is related to 
/ used in any of the myriad religions that existed in period. 

And finally, for those who have yet to figure out what art or science calls to 
them, I would like to invite our Laurels, Pearls, and other talented artists 
to participate in an Artisans' Row. For those not yet familiar, this will be 
an opportunity to see many arts in progress and maybe find a hobby or area of 
study you'd like to take up.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you'd like 
to be one of the Artisans, I'd appreciate a message, particularly if you need 
a large space or other such accommodation.

I apologize for what has now become relatively short notice.

Yours in service,
Lady Grazia Morgano
