[Bryn-gwlad] Tiny Tourneys

[Goldweard]

Working on the idea of the golden spatula has really
gotten me thinking  (Run, hide yourself and your
children).  I think that beginning next year we should
consider having monthly Tiny Tourneys.   What I was
thinking is a schedule like this

January, May, September - Martial Arts
February, June, October - Bardic arts
March, July, November - Culinary Arts
April, August, December - Static Arts

These would occur on either the first or second
Tuesday of the month.  This would provide the
following benefits

1.  We get a chance to have a small local event where
we can get into persona and period clothing (I'll let
you call it what you will). especially since some of
us cannot attend local or regional events on a regular
basis.

2.  It allows those individuals, interested in
learning to autocrat events, a chance to get their
feet wet.   The structure and times are already in
place.  They just need to come up with a theme for the
event.  This is a great option for those who wish to
autocrat, but get scared off that they might screw up
some big event.

3.   It allows us the chance to show some of our
current projects we are working on.  Get feedback.  
And help each other improve our competition entries
for the larger events.

4.  It provides a chance for those spectators who come
to PIP  the ability to see that we are more than just
a bunch of people who get in armor and hit each other
with sticks.

5.   Any excuse for a party...

I unfortunately will not be able to attend business
meetings until January as my Master Naturalist classes
occur every Monday until mid December.   I am
therefore posting this here, so that it can be
discussed and then presented at the next business
meeting.
