People of this fine Kingdom<BR>Does Baron Turgeis Hakonson Send Humble
Greetings<BR><BR>As the Great Pennsic War approaches and Atlantia prepares Her
forces, I am compelled to do everything within my ability to help in fielding as
large and capable Army as we can.<BR><BR>To that end I will be hosting a "Last
Chance for Authorizations" fighter practice at my home in the Barony of
Steirbach. I have secured the blessing of Master Roland, the DEM for
Armored combat and have commitments from two warranted MoL's all in keeping with
the current KEM policy.<BR><BR>The date for this endeavor I hope to determine by
the needs of those wishing to participate to include warranted Marshals and
tester fighters (authorized fighters and can test the candidate) as well as
potential candidates for authorization. Without enough Marshals and
testers from a variety of areas and authorized weapons forms, this will be a
fruitless exercise.<BR><BR>We have a choice of three dates to choose
from:<BR><BR>17 July which is the Sunday following Kingdom Archery and one week
before King's Assessments.<BR><BR>30 July being the last Saturday of the month
and no other event on <BR>the Kingdom Calendar.<BR><BR>31 July, the following
Sunday.<BR><BR>Please reply to me personally with the above dates ranked in your
<BR>order of preference (1,2,3). <BR><BR>Also:<BR>If you are responding as
a candidate needing authorization please <BR>provide:<BR>Name: SCA or
Mundane if you are still working on a SCAdian name<BR>Your Local Group (Shire,
Canton, Barony)<BR>Weapons Form you wish to authorize in.<BR><BR>If you are a
warranted Marshal/tester and would like to assist <BR>(please, please, please) I
will need:<BR>Name<BR>Local Group<BR>Weapons Forms you are authorized
in<BR><BR>MIT's are welcome, but I am unsure at this time if this endeavor will
count as an "event" for your paperwork. I will seek clarification on this
and get back to individual as needed.<BR><BR>I will provide directions to my
home once I have made a determination as to if and when this will happen.
Please understand that I am asking a lot of those who have volunteered to assist
me. Therefore I will only be able to conduct this event on the ONE date
that best meets the need of everyone. <BR><BR>In Service to Knight, Crown
and Kingdom,<BR>Baron Turgeis<BR>Squire to Syr Forgal<BR>Steirbach Baronial
Warlord.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
