[Ansteorra-announce] [Fwd: Academy of the Soldier! Saturday May 19th]

[Michael Tucker]

Greetings, kinsmen:

The following announcement is for an event coming up in a week. There was
supposed to be an ad for it in the April Black Star, but it got overlooked. It's
in the May Black Star, but will be mailed too late to do the event much good.
So, as a service to the event, I'm forwarding this information to our lists.
This event looks like a lot of fun. If you weren't planning to attend Loch
Baronial or Guardian of the Tor, you might consider attending this instead. :-)

Yours in service,
Michael Silverhands
