[Ansteorra-announce] Westgate Winter Collegium09 'How To...' - July 25th, Classes-to-date

[Hillary Greenslade]

Greetings, 
Westgate Winter Collegium 09, a 'How-To' event, is fast approaching, July 25th in the Houston area.  Classes are filling up, but there is still space available for more classes.  In addition to arts related classes, there are a number of newcomers in the Kingdom that might benefit from SCA-101 format classes in camping, events, costuming and fighting activities, as well as History of the SCA.  

In addition to our indoor classes (10 of 'em), we have a lovely outdoor shaded courtyard for marshalling classes, please specify if students need to bring armor.  The outdoor area maybe also used for some messy classes. 

For class registration, contact Lady Jennette Makepays at: ecombs79 at hotmail.com
