<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">I am pleased to advise that the form for the
Steppes Artisan competition is now online. If you would like to compete
for the honour of being the Sixteenth Steppes Artisan, or just to display your
creations for feedback from the judges, it would help very much if you could
complete the form by July 28th. This allows us to organize the hall in
advance, and also to put the appropriate information on the judging
forms.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua">The registration form can be found at <A
href="http://www.steppes.org/artisan/preregistration.html">http://www.steppes.org/artisan/preregistration.html</A>
and when you hit "SUBMIT" it goes directly to the Registrar. Confirmations
will be sent. If you do not receive a confirmation within twenty-four
hours (allowing for weekends), please check with the Registrar or send it
again. We will cull duplicate forms.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The whole event site is around the form, and should be linked to the
Kingdom Calendar online shortly. Or, you can access it directly through <A
href="http://www.steppes.org/artisan/index.html">http://www.steppes.org/artisan/index.html</A>
The site includes links to nearby hotels; the complete menu (ingredients lists
coming, or email for them) for lunch and dinner; start times for the Artisan,
Archery Champion, and Rapier Champion competitions; and other useful information
about this year's Steppes Artisan event.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please feel free to share this on your local lists, for those who do not
receive the Kingdom list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you!</DIV>
