FOR ALL THOSE who might be less apt to come out and volunteer for the Festival this week end because of the weather, the pavilions will have some walls, and mine will be enclosed with a large propane heater that should keep it comfortable, and a place to get hands warm.  Please, any that are not otherwise commited, come on out and show your stuff.  FIGHTERS AND ARTISANS are especially needed to interest the mundanes in what we do.  There is an enclosed tent with chairs to change garb in.  REMEMBER WHAT FIRST GOT YOU INTERESTED IN THE SCA!!!!   Come to St. Marks School, Preston/Royal area.  See the Steppes Lists for more directions.
   Again, if you have any medieval type pieces to show off in a period camp, please bring them down.  You will be given any credit you want, and if you have documentation, so much the better.  Sheep, chickens, ducks, garb, A&S pieces or small displays, COME ON DOWN!!!  Sorry, no brewing allowed, but material and documentation is O.K.

 This thing all things devours;
 Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
 Gnaws iron, bites steel;
 Grinds hard stones to meal;
 Slays king, ruins town,
 And beats high mountains down.

       What is it????
