[Ansteorra-announce] Children's and Youth's Collegium At Steppes Warord XXX

[chiara]

Children's and Youth's Collegium is designed to accommodate age groups;
9-13, and 10 - 17.  We will need volunteer Teachers for the age appropriate
activities planned for them. The youth will attend hands on classes in the
Collegium, as well as have more complex games, arts and crafts activities,
and other entertainment. I have seen many such activities happening around
the kingdom and they have become very popular with out youth. I would like
to continue this trend with as many of you that are willing to teach your
class at our event this year.

Come and help us make this the most memorial event for our youth on our 30th
anniversary of the oldest longest running fighting tournament in our
Kingdom.

So far these are the ideas that we have come up with on what we would like
to see. The list was created by our own Lady Merrud.
