[Bordermarch] MAY DAY, SCA "New Year's Day" SUNDAY April 29, 2012 ~ 3:PM until

[tessa]

Good Morning, Bordermarchers,

Well met to these recent participants:
  William & Mary Newsome
   Austin Whitescavver
    Justin Wollam
     Chris Reynolds
       Rebecca Seidenberger
         Tyler, with apologies, I did not catch the whole name or contact info...

As we learn names and contact information of other new friends, please introduce them around to everyone 
and suggest they join the bordermarch list on line.
<bordermarch.org>   -scroll the left side for local Trumpeter Newsletters and Mailing List.

Our esteemed healing Baroness of Bordermarch, Her Excellency Elisabeth, has chatted with me about May Day plans :)
I would like to help do the leg work (am so glad I can stand and walk now) and give Her Excellency pause to continue restoring her health.

Since May 1 is a Tuesday this year, let's have our "Anno Sociatus Birthday ~ May Day" in the Park on Sunday, April 29 
combined with fighter practice. There are several new friends participating who have not yet attended a revel or event, so let's frill up our "May Day" and provide 
a mini-event in the park to give a setting for our new friends.
 
Everyone wear garb, bring an extra tunic to loan, fly banners, bring eats to share (I'll bring a table), 
show A & S project works, invite other friends, hold a quick welcome court, maybe hold classes?  
Could we have Heraldry forms available or Fighter forms as needed, and print out some SCA flyers for distribution. 
And continue the singing for which our Bards are famously known.
All in addition to a good fighter practice.
I'll be happy to teach SCA Courtly Graces 101
Someone might show simple quick Garb ideas for newbies. ___
Lord Khorin is already planning a grand cake!
This could serve as an opportunity for recent friends to step through the mist and Live the Dream!
as well as our celebratory Thanksgiving & Welcome Out for our beloved Baroness Elisabeth restoring to health.

Everyone bring your lawn chairs, please.

Please sign in for what refreshments you will provide:
Lemonade:  Tessa
Gatorade:     ___
Fruit:            ___
Cake:          -we think - Khorin  
Paper goods: ___
Cups:            ___
Ice:               ___
Other refreshments ___ ___ ___

By these means, the populace can observe the May Day turning of "Anno Sociatus XXXXVII" 
in a manner fitting to the customs of hospitable Barony Bordermarch!
