<BR>Thomas and I have the honor of hosting this month's Newcomer's Meeting to be held on April 12th at 7:30 pm. This month's meeting will be centered around the Pennsic War, held annually in August. Pennsic offers fighting, A&S classes and many other diverse pleasures. For those who might have an interest in fighting, His Excellency, Baron Sir Thomas, is well-versed in heavy fighting, rapier, archery and thrown weapons and would love to tell his stories of War. Lady Shelby will be attending for those who would like to hear a female point of view on the archery field. For those seeking more peaceful pastimes, there are some members of the Barony with exceptional talent to advise and delight you about the Arts and Sciences portion of Pennsic. Lady Sorcha, who has many talents from making period tents to making period shoes, will be available at the meeting. Lady Lucia will attend with samples of medieval jewelry. But I am very pleased to annouce that this is also the first meeting for making goblet covers for the Royal Pennsic Gift Baskets, and we expect this to be a most enjoyable endeavor (please note other e-mail sent to the Barony today for more information.)

<BR>ALLERGY ALERT: we do have a cat. But her name is Shy for a reason, so we wouldn't count on you seeing her! Sodas and Munchies also will be available.
