[Ansteorra] Newbies

[Carolyn Young]

Isabeau,
Allow me to introduce myself.  I am the Regional Hospitaler for the southern 
area.  To give you the fancy name it's the Honorable Lady Caitlin nan Cnoc 
Airgead, but just call me Cait, everyone else does.  I would love to meet 
you at the
War College in Raven's Fort.

Let me assure you Bjornsborg does really have some wonderful people so 
please give them another chance.

See you in a couple of weeks,
Caitlin, Carolyn, Lyn, Mom, Grandma
So much to do; so little attention span.....

David,
Thank you so much for your invitation and especially the classes on how to
set up camp, but I don't have it Tent and really no camping equipment I've
never really camped out so that's pretty new to me but I will definitely
consider the Southern regional War College, I  believe you are only a few
hours for me, the Houston area I believe. And I might take you up on that
offer to hang out, if I decide to stay in the SCA.
