GE - Hey, What's This All About?

Tue Nov 9 16:08:15 PST 1999

Hello everyone, Alan McGuire here. Most of ya'll know me, others don't. Just 
a point I wanted to remind people of, this weekend I am hosting the Pente 
tourney. I have a couple of prizes, if anyone wants to donate a prize, I 
would appreciate it. Also, if we need a hospitaler, I am up for the job. I 
used to have a newbie house as it was, way back when......Oh those were the 
days. Just wanted to toss my hat in the arena. If someone wants to talk with 
me, my email is listed on this message, of course I will also be at Faire 
this weekend. My hiatus away from the SCA is over, I am back and in full 
force, knees willing LOL

Until further days, Alan

>That, my friends, is an easy one.  At the Gate's Edge populace meeting last

>If you wish to be removed from this list, please send an e-mail to

>You'll receive a confirmation with no further postings to this list.

>The northern Stargate newcomers' meetings are being held at my home on

>meeting will be SCA 101 taught by HL Annes and Costuming taught by Lady
>Angharad (Rondah).  The second meeting will hopefully feature the four
>aspects of the marshallate - chivalric, rapier, archery and equestrian.  
>The

>Officers will be at my home on November 22nd.  All are invited to attend or

>That's all for now - see you over the Edge!
