[Wilim Penbras]

Greetings from Elfsea,
     The last weekend of June (29th,30th and 1st) there will be an
Academy which I believe is unlike any seen before.  It will include
classes on just about anything that flies through the air.  Archery,
Knife, Axe and Spear and Siege Engines.  There will be melee practices,
meetings, a potluck feast, and a Court of Their Highnesses, Duncan and
Larissa, Princeps and Princepessa.

We are still soliciting Instructors and the schedule is subject to
change.  A web site will be made available soon to view online updates
to the schedule and to register.  Some class are limited in their
attendance but may be duplicated if there is enough interest.
The Royal Huntsman Tourney will begin at 12:00 and run for
approximately 2 hours to select the Huntsman for the reign of Their Highnesses.
Immediately following the Royal Huntsman the Range area will be closed
to field points and opened up for instruction/practice of Combat
Archery and Siege support of heavy units.  This will go from
approximately 14:00 until 17:00 after which there will be an hour
available for Heavies to practice Unit Drills.  There will be a
marshals meeting with the Kingdom Archery Marshal at 17:00. All
Regional and Local Marshals for any archery activities are requested to
attend.
There will be a bear pit area at least for heavy fighters to practice
in until the range area opens up for melee practice.
There will be some MOC activities available but parents please be aware
that the majority of the site is dedicated to Live Ranges and children
are to be closely supervised.
At Approximately 18:00 a Pot Luck Feast will occur with Court to follow
Immediately after.
In Service,
     Lord Wilim Penbras ap Gurgeneu
