Armouring Workshop- Updated
Greetings all.
The armouring workshop will run over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of March, and not the previously advertised weekend in February.
I will cover the basics such as:
Armour requirements, combat rules and regulations (Rules are Rules!)
Pattern sizing, taking measurements and pattern making.
Basic raising and sinking techniques, edge reinforcing.
Articulation and riveting
Tool modification
Safety in the workshop, aka 'how not to cut your fingers off'.
The intention is to leave the workshop with a couple of pieces of armour, ready for combat (we may even try them out if time permits).
The workshop is open to all interested parties.
Please bring along any hammers or tools that you think you might use, as there is a limited amount available for use.
Time will be from 10:30 till 20:00 on the Saturday and 10:30 to 16:00 on the Sunday.
Please bring your own drink and food for the workshop, a fire will be lit after the workshop on Saturday for those wanting to 'tan some meat'
Venue- Lord Rainers' abode
Directions available on request.

New beginnings
Greetings all,
As we hurtle rapidly towards the end of another year, let us spend an afternoon in genteel pursuit of a time when life moved, perhaps, a little slower. I am opening my abode on the either the 6th / 7th December for an afternoon of crafting, fighting and fellowship. This is an informal event, and garb is not expected. (My own expectations don't allow me to fit into my current garb!) I'm hoping to make some batches of sekanjabin, and just have a good, relaxing time. Please bring any pending projects (armour, craft etc) that you are working on.
We can order pizza and perhaps watch a video, if the afternoon extends into the evening. Of those of you who would be coming, please let me know who would prefer athe Saturday or Sunday. I will decide on the date in the next week or so.
Details:
Time: From about 2pm onwards.
Date: Either the 6th or 7th December (confirmation to be announced soon).
I look forward to seeing you all again.
In Service,
Ginevra dell'Acqua

June Potluck
Greetings, good gentles.
Let the warmth of fellowship banish from our hearts the winters chill! All are invited to attend an informal potluck evening at my abode at the end of this fine month.
We will have good cheer, good food, good companions, and such activities as recommend themselves to our weatherbeaten minds.
The afternoon will offer time to practise - combat, craft and conversation, and in the evening we will eat and regale ourselves with a tale (ok, a DVD) of Dangerous Beauty!
If any good gentle has the means to regale us with any other suitable tale, please put forth your suggestions.
The details for the occasion are as follows:
Date: Saturday 28th June
Time: From about 2pm onwards - supper at about 6:30pm
Contact: Lady Ginevra / Stacey
Please bring with you an appropriate medieval dish to feed approximately 4-6 adults. That way we get to try things we may not normally cook. Note that bread and cheese can qualify as an appropriate medieval dish. I need to know what you plan to bring to make sure that we don't get 4 main courses, and no dessert. (You understand, of course, that 4 desserts and no main meals is less of a problem!) Please post to the list for recipe suggestions
- there are plenty of people here who are knowlegable about period cooking.
Please let me know about any dietary restrictions - we may be able to make a plan.
This will be a non-garb event.
Looking forward to seeing many faces again.
